Exhaust Set up, What do I get from this change Options

[aharder]

My stock 1.8 exhaust drops down and heads toward the front of the engine and connects to the exhaust pipe and does a 180 towards the back of the car and connects to a Bursch Exhaust .



Do I get any of benefit if I change it to where the exhaust pipe drops down and heads towards the rear of the car and connect to a pipe that connects to the Bursch?

I had thought of doing the same thing with the 75/76 exhaust manifolds, but decided to go with a set of early 2.0L manifolds with heat exchangers.

Since I'm getting older (and lost a lot of weight) I find that I don't like cold temperatures as much as I used to. Heat in the car is a wonderful thing, vs. optimum performance.


EDIT:
Finally found one of my old posts (on NARP) from early 2009:

"Bruce Stone provided me with a set at the 'So Cal All Porsche Swap Meet' last Sunday (Thanks Bruce) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) ...

I've since blasted and painted them w/1200 deg paint (more to keep them from rusting than anything else) until I start modifying them.

The experiment will entail cutting off the 3-hole flanges, repositioning the exhaust port stud U-tabs if needed, mount the manifolds pointing backwards, extending the pipes back, welding on 2-hole flanges and mating up to a Triad 6-cylinder muffler system. The engine will be either a stock 2.0L or a 2056 ... "
