size & "H-pipe"

The system with the highest velocity would be the system with the least restriction. What changes in air flow in the header collector that doesn't happen in the rest of the system?

i believe you got the first part backwards:blob:

all im saying is that after the correct collector lenght you could build the rest of the exhaust with 6" pipes if you want to there wont be any loss of power,while going down in size and creating a restriction might cost power.
