RE: Can a /6 Have a Good Sound?

[William Cole <wedge64@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

That sounds similar to what my Dad used to do back in the 50's. He was a
welder and he would take the manifold and weld in something, (never seen
him do it though), and split the manifold, 2 and 4 and run duals from
that. It sounded something like a V-8 running slow with good mufflers
but would sound like mad bees at WOT.
