This may be my inner redneck talking, but how about megaphone exhaust pipes instead of a muffler on a 4 cylinder? Other than being loud, is there enough back pressure in the system?
 Thanks in advance, Konrad |

I've seen one four-banger with stock heat exchangers (which may have had the "wrapping" cut off them) and a two-into one merge so each side had its own megaphone. No cross-over at all.
It sounded like crap to me. And I think it left performance on the table compared to any exhaust with a real collector in it. --DD |
