Might do some testing and find that in bad air a small two step tube with no merge would be the ticket. Don't fall for the bling of a merge unless you like to pay for bling. Better test & test some more... You could be leaving a lot on the table, esp when you bring preconceived ideas of what is best. Last July I was dyno testing a Drag Pack engine at BES and put my smaller 2 step non merge headers on and with their best merge/big tube tune it had a 25 HP average better between peak Tq and Peak HP and was only down 1 HP at peak. They also had 17 higher Tq. and a longer run at peak Tq number. Point is... Test and let the engine tell you what it wants..
