Also, the typical position for an X or H is to be equal distances from the
header collectors. I wonder how much benifit you will get when the pipe from
the drivers side is a foot or more longer than the one from the passenger side.
Seems to me that it would mess up the exhaust pulse timing and negate any
scavenging effect.
I think I would just go with a large diameter manderal bent exhaust with a high
flow single cat and a muffler of your choice.
