Lightbulb Equal length exhaust without SSI!!

I've been searching for some pre-74 exchangers to give my '78SC some extra power.
Since everyone else is also looking for the same I'm not having much luck. Forget new SSI, I simply can't afford it.

I thought if the problem with the current exhaust is that the pipes are not equal length, then why not make a custom cat bypass pipe that adds a small loop to the left exchanger making the exhaust length equal when the two pipes merge. This shouldn't be too hard to make for someone who has equipment to bend exhaust pipes. An off the shelf cat bypass pipe could be butchered to make a prototype unit.

Any thoughts why this shouldn't increase performance?

Think how simple this custom pipe would be to install. Think of all the headaches going to SSI, new muffler, new heat exchangers, broken exhaust studs, new oil lines, etc....
