Clever solution, if a bit complex & heavy. Ever thought of adding a crossover pipe?

After thinking about the problem I did this, I added parallel mufflers under the car and took exhaust behind the collector and re- inserted it after the muffler.
The car sounds great now it screams to 6,000 no problem.
It completely transformed the car! I have had the car for 20 years and this exhaust has been on for 19 years.
