I appreciate your position Chris, but my point is that even without a crossover of any type, I'm still making more power than a y-piped setup.
Check out this tidbit from a smart guy on shotimes that first did something like this on his sho 10 years ago:
"The optimum crossover point for a balance tube as someone already mentioned will be at a different location on each pipe. The length of the tube to meet these ponts will cause further complications. I specified roughly where the tube worked best for me, but there will inevitably be variation. You may not even want a balance tube. Again, the Y-pipe is neither 'tuned' or 'balanced'. I mean, the Y-pipe is a very nice piece of hardware, but you can't tune it any better than you can tune a crossover tube for precisely the same reasons (i.e. unequal head pipe length). Let's not get confused here. "
The entire article is here:
Ted Breaux - "True dual exhausts explained" I'll try the crayon trick, but am not sure what results I'll get since the front pipes are stainless and the rest of the system is aluminized.
Yes, I know I'd get more power with a properly placed crossover - but I'm happy with how it is at the moment and plan to leave it alone for awhile.
