Several of the questions asked here are covered in articles on our Technical Assistance section of our website. And even if they aren't specifically for the engines used in your cars, you may find useful info in some of the seemingly off-topic articles. Here's a link to tech:

One thing I would caution builders/designers on, I actually have many people make similar comments. If you have a motor that makes mostly torque, you can't just change to a "top-end" style exhaust and suddenly make horsepower instead of torque. The exhaust is the finish of what was designed into the motor. The exhaust can't contradict the basic nature of the motor without making changes to the motor itself. What you end up doing is just designing an exhaust that doesn't deliver the optimal performance of the designed motor. Hope that makes sense?
Strangely, yes it does. Recalling vaguely my failed attempt at calculus, you're saying that my idea to reshape the power curve will mostly likely end up simply reducing the area under the curve, reducing the peaks and not producing correspondingly more power at the upper limits. Which does sound very plausible.
I'll be around for, at the very least, the flanges, and probably a couple of 3 into 1 collectors. Thanks again!
