I've seen Chvey 235 exhausts split 2 different ways: one way the manifold is cut in half, the ends are blocked off, and a new flange is welded on (like 12 Port Advertiser Kansas Kustoms does it). The other way, the manifold is blocked and a flange is welded on, but the manifod isn't cut into. Is there an advantage/disadvantage to one type over the other? Is there a difference in sound?

Thanks,
Joe
