/6 Exhaust: Dual or single? Your thoughts

You're missing the entire point. If you split dual on an inline, you're splitting backwards. That actually takes completely away from the scavenging effect.

You need to split two to one, not one to two.
Actually in this case, he would have a double split, and the second would only have an effect on sound & velocity......if the second split is done efficiently................
Anywho.............until Deemo gets his headers, all the 6-2-1 talk is pointless, MORE important is that he is sure to pick headers that can accommodate a change to a 225
if he decides to switch, & there aren't a ton of choices if he sticks w/the 170.
