Another $.02, I also had alot of problems with the concept of a 4 cylinders into 1 
exhaust tip, working beter than a 4 cylinder into 4 exhaust tips.  If you apply real 
world experiences, it would seem that more exhaust tips means more places for the 
exhaust to leave the system = better peformance.  WELL, the oppisite is true, to a 
point.  Expent gases flowing through a exhaust have a flow pattern that is akin to 
water flowing through a pipe.  As the "water" flows past the collector(where all 4 
exhaust pipes meet in a 4-1 exhaust) it has a drawing effect on the opening of the 
other tubes causing a slight negative pressure in those pipes whick inturn draws the 
spent gases out of the combustion chamber allowing a cleaner chamber for the next 
intake.  If you want to see a real world example of this, take a water puddle on the 
floor.  Now place a high pressure water line in the center of the puddle with the 
water jet horrozonal to the water surface.  The jet of water will draw the !
water out of the puddle even though you are actually putting more water in.

Can you tell I am bored at the Checkpoint?
