Exactly my concern with using a single can with straight through design. The banks still mix slightly.

Seems like this mixing has undesirable effect on sound and resonance.

Not sure if completely separate mufflers will do better but I assume so. I plan to build a individual banks with 2 of these mufflers.

The other concern is bigger is not always better, using 2.5" pipe after the headers I think is to large. I suspect the pipe and muffler needs to be 2" or 2.25" I think I'll be using 2.25" pipe and mufflers.

Even though they are not 'joined' I found that at certain rpm, there would be a resonance. The gas paths are still colliding as they travel in opposite directions and spill out through the perforations into the muffler body.

Since using two completely separate straight throughs (like what Rarly mentioned aboe) ive had no issues at all.
