sorry, but can't see the point - 3 pots into 2 pipes or 3 pots into one pipe then back into 2 pipes.  May look pretty but not any help to power output.

I'm more used to having exhaust manifolds and pipework matched properly for power.

will be more meaningful with a V8 dropped in..

but other than that will be extra weight, no performance gain, instead I would spend that for a custom manifold..

It's your car, dude - so only your rules apply.
If that's what you want go for it! :y

The only thing I would advise, is that if you do it and post up pics, some will like, some won't, so be prepared to get shot down! ;)

Probably do away with it altogether!
My exhaust went a while back, it was the two pipes into the rear box that had totally rusted away, so the rear box wasn't actually connected.
Didn't make that much difference noise-wise, but the economy is better now it's fixed.

No, 3-into-1 times 2  :y

I wouldn't have thought it would be so difficult, the only issues would be mounting the right-side (looking from the back) box, and 'adapting' the rear bumper to accomodate the tailpipes.
