The whole of my motoring life i have loved the sound of a V8, I owned 6 Rover SD1's,two V8's, V8S,V8SE,VP V8i and Vittese V8i, the Vitesse i took the middle exhaust boxes off and just had the rear silancer, how good that baby sounded, arr the good old days.

So this is your standard V8 exhaust manifold. Takes exhaust gas from 1 bank, combines them all together then heads for the back of the car in 4-2-1 format (obviously, 1 on each side of the engine):

I found a photo the other day of an exhaust manifold design which clearly illustrated the difference between a Ferrari-style V8 and a conventional one.
