Recently heard a few videos with 8 into 1 sequential merge headers, which gives a distinct higher revving sound similar to a flat plane crank engine , such as Ferrari. Pretty similar to 180 degree headers sound.
Obviously the main reasons you don't see more of them is packaging issues for fitment , complexity , & cost.
Pretty sure you have to arrange the pipes going into the collector one after another in the engines firing order to get the proper sequential scavenging & sound.
If I did try to make a set on a g-body, it would have to come forwards & down as seen in Tanner Faust's vw LS7 drift car. Other stuff would need to move to make room.
Considering this as a later future project for sound reasons only & I don't need anyone to say how difficult building these would be. I know that. So it would have to really sound cool in person to be worth all the effort.
here's a google link.

If watching the LSX mag Tanner Faust video, skip ahead to about 18 minutes in. I know a good bit of the reason for his sound is a bad *ss engine, but heard one video with 2 different similar power rock climbing trucks, totally different sound.
