Redwolf said: (quoted from post at 08:24:25 10/09/09) Yes, it could be done. Problem you must overcome is keepeing enough backpressure in each exhaust tube and keeping tube equal length. the equal pressure and lenght will allow the engine to run the most effiencient. A extreme difference in backpressure will cause the motor to run lean in one cylinder and not another. This would be a tuning nightmare as you would have a tough time controlling the fuel mixture.
So in short, neat in theory, almost impossible in reality.
Good luck!
Ideals.! However, all cylinders are not equal length now, as from factory. Clearly the two center cylinders are closer to the end of exhaust pipe than the two outer cylinders by roughly half the manifold length. Furthermore, any single exhaust "V" engine (V6, V8, etc.) has 2 or 3 feet of cross-over from one bank to the other, with the exhaust pipe exiting to muffler from only one bank. A 2 or 3 foot difference & they have been running like that successfully since 1932 on Fords and even longer in a few others.

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
