Thanks Scott. Everything that you say makes sense. Would'ja believe that I hadn't even considered the noise aspect? (I have moments like that)
But I do have to add that dual exhaust is somethin' that was more what muscle-car addicts have come to expect to see gracin' the posterior of our vehicles.
It's always meant power; the ever-increasin' more.
The true sportscar tenet, r', at least the original one, was sheer minimalism to the Nth degree. 'Wasn't nothin' there that wasn't absolutely necessary to get 'er done.
Duals would not have been considered (at least not on anythin' with only one bank of cylinders) to appease the gods of noise, looks, macho r' any of the other lesser gods.
Now the gods of low mass, power n' quick . . their altars were open all nite.
Thanks n' be well.
