I was mostly kidding with the straight pipes, tough to stream line and would be obnoxiously loud, not to mention you could make wild gains over straight pipes with an appropriately tuned exhaust. Trouble I see with it is that the timing of the power stroke on a 4 cyl would be different from a 6 cyl would be different from an 8 cyl That could be overcome by having more than one set of holes for the pins to drop into.
