I believe the thought process behind this header design was to point the exhaust air up under the wing. Down force is created when the air is going under the wing faster than the air is going over the wing, causing a low pressure spot under the wing and a high presure spot on top of the wing. I believe the theroy behind these headers is it would help "Push" the air under the wing, hopefully making it move faster casunig more downforce. 

To answer your question Murphy from a drivers standpoint, yes, that would be awfully loud. Heck, it is loud just the way it is lol. I had my ear bud fall out of my ear racing a 360 at Jackson one time and my ear rang for a couple days.



That was the explanation I heard at the time as well. They made the team take the inverted ones off after hot laps, and I think he went and won the race anyway with traditional headers.
