An open question to the collective knowledge of this group on the subject of exhaust systems.

Has anyone installed an exhaust with a manifold box like the original N/A 13B ? 

In other words, what about building a box collector of similar dimensions to the original heavy cast iron unit on the N/A 13B but made out of say .120 thou SS ?

Would this help dampen the exhaust pulses ? Or are we just opening a whole new can of worms by going down that track?

I think it would leave some HP on the table but for someone like myself not seekeing any more than about 160 hp out of my application is it reasonable?
