>>>Wouldn't that be attributable to not having the collector close enough 
to the exhaust ports--or not having one at all?   I admit I know squat about 
exhaust theory, but I seem to recall that there is a somewhat optimal 
distance from the exhaust ports to the collector, and that individual pipe systems 
with no collector don't work particularly well.

Edjumacate me some more?
