I was talking about the engine's built in those magazine articals. They spent some serious money in building what amounted to a 6 cylinder Cleveland, it would have been cheaper to just kill two cylinders in a Cleveland and make it a V6.
Nothing wrong with that. Good luck. Only drawback to a hopped up 6 banger (gas motor) is the racket they make with loud exhaust.
Interesting you would say that, I have been looking at the older BMW M3 exhaust system. The pictures show an X pipe after the collector and one farther down the system. The system wouldn't be complete without the resonators and mufflers. For the mufflers and resonators, I'm planning on using Arvinode Mustang Hi-Po parts and 2" exhaust to get the pitchy sound.
