I posted this question on the open forum also, but in order to get as much of the knowledge possible, I repeat it here.
So, sometime after I had my original, stock manifold porcelain coated with aluminum (I love the way it looks), I bought a great-looking home made, split exhaust from Park W that I was thinking of using. I know how good these make these engines sound as I once had a Terraplane with this setup, and maybe it was just my imagination, but it really seemed to actually run better. I would like to keep the stock manifold for the way it looks, but I'm entertaining splitting the exhaust in some other way.
If I was to split the exhaust pipe right behind the manifold, keeping the manifold single but running two exhaust pipes back, side by side, would this mod give the exhaust a better sound? Is there anyway that it would help relieve the back pressure on the exhaust, and in your respective opinions would this help or hinder sound and performance.
I am assuming that I would never be able to find the "two into one" that is more common for the six.
Thanks for any discussion along these lines...k
