What downsides are there to running individual exhaust pipes from each rotor instead of combining into a manifold and single exhaust.  This question came after seeing a picture of a P-51, which has 12 individual exhaust stacks.  The immediate advantages are: easier fabrication, no need to allow for manifold/pipe expansion.
 
Thanks,
Joe
