As I understand it from reading posts there were 3 configurations for Excal exhaust. First, like my 95 was headers to cats straight down to sidepipes on same side as header. Cobraduke's is like this. Second, like Flyboy's original was header to cats to pipes routed under engine, to resonators (or another cat) then to sidepipes on same side as header. This configuration can be seen in 95 currently for sale at Fastlane. Third had same system as Flyboy's except exhaust crossed under engine to exit sidepipe on opposite side of header. I assume from everybody's complaints that no configuration prevented cracked headers.

Any speculation about why such different systems? Is there any reason to think that straight down configuration (#1) might rob less horsepower than others?
