TC just posted this in another one of his threads....I have seen a lot of 917's in books, in person, under restoration and on the track. I have NEVER seen one with a side exhaust. Interesting picture...

Just a guess, but I know drag racers are always big on equal length exhaust runners for headers - something about improving scavenging. The side exit was probably to try and get all the runners close to equal. Then they figured out that the bad outweighed the good and dumped it.
