The thought of going back to a single pipe is to save space by using one muffler and also it worked out great for sound. We installed this same set up for a test on our Corvette, and it was amazing how quiet we got it. We have some sites that are very restrictive on sound limits.

if you wanted a passenger side exit, then why not just route a large single after the merge? it should weigh less as one large than two smaller.. and since you are comming into one muffler anyway ?!?

Our goal is to get this car as quiet as possible. We tried with one muffler and it was not enough. The two smaller ones under the car were also not enough. We were able to obtain a unique sound with this set up and got it fairly quiet. It should also flow well. All three are straight thru design. With the two merges and three mufflers, hopefully it works out. Atl least all the weight is low and in the center. It may not be perfect, but it is different!

Here are some update photos showing the templates being made with cardboard material for the aluminum paneling at Maier Racing. It is too bad all the custom work on the rear suspension gets covered up.

Brian,
I love watching the progress of your car. I wanted to know, when you were planning out the car, did you ever considered an IRS set up?

Since the primary purpose of the car is to autocross in the SCCA class C Prepared, IRS is not legal. That would be a great set up, but not for this car. Thanks for watching! We are making a lot of progress now.
