I have had some of that kind of work. Mostly fixing old ladys lawn chairs and such. You are right get it red hot then go for it. Cracks are an easy fix too drill small hole at the end heat it weld it grind it no one nevers know it was there. Takes time and more time to get it right.

It's an old time method of getting dual exhausts on a straight 6 or 8 that had a single exhaust originally. Essentially you tap in with a new exit and add a flange to it to bolt the second exhaust pipe to. They have a pretty unique, cool sound, especially through Smitty's mufflers. :D

I've been pondering what would happen if i was to split a pair of V8 manifolds. Sending four pipes out the back with some short smitty's.

I see no reason it wouldnt work. But how would it sound??
