No, I mean fade as in after you've been competing for awhile, if you have no brake upgrades your brakes will begin to "not brake" as they did in the beginning. The brakes will begin to fade and not slow you down as they did in the beginning. This happens because the brakes begin to get too hot. The brembos are better at not allowing this. But I'm not sure if that's a problem for autocrossing as opposed to road racing.

Monchy if you're going for just sound and not concerned about power whatsoever, I also agree to just do shorties. The shorties sound significantly deeper and throatier than a lot of the long tube setups. They also of course come without the CEL problem and you won't need the x-pipe to reduce rasp. The only problem may be actually get a hold of some shorties. Last I heard, JBA wasn't making them anymore and DT was on a massive backorder. It could've been fixed already but I haven't checked in awhile.

I personally think that when going after sound, it's all about changing the idle sound and the partial throttle sound. At WOT, all the v6s sound the exact same to me.
