You mean one pipe coming off each side of the "v"? I don't know what kind of gains if any you will get, but it's possible.

I have already installed a semi-dual pipe from a 2.5 kl, and have better top end!!

I took them from a junkyard. They belonged to a Probe GT. The only mods I had to do were to cut the flange from the rear block and twist it a few degrees. To do it the right way, I bolted on the stock headers to a piece of wood, then cut the rear flange from the KL headers, bolt the KL headers on the wood, and then weld the rear flange, not too much work. Then you will had to enlarge the silent-block assy, because it´s shorter than the K8, or it won´t be subjected. The only drawback is that it´s impossible to fit the cat(without modifying the post cat tube). I did a straight tube with the flanges from a crushed cat(doing them is so boring!) and installed it. So when I will have the yearly inspection, I would have to remove everything and leave it stock, but once you get all done it isn´t too much work. Try it with a KL throttle body and tell me if it isn´t faster than before!
