Install 180 degree headers. First set I ever heard was on Dick Landy's Altered Wheelbase Dodge at Lions Drag Strip in 1964. The old Ford Indy V8 with the Nest Of Snakes exhaust had them, Junior Johsnson's Nascar racer that Darrel Waltrip drove in the early 80s had them. Standing in the infield of Nashville Speedway at the exit of turn 2 was ear splitting every time Waltrip went by. Mid 90s several teams started running them at Daytona and Talladega. If I remember right the 2 rear pipes on each cylinder bank crossed over to the opposite side and joined the collector with the front 2 pipes.

Or in the old Formula 5000 days some teams ran Repco engines that was a small block chevy with a 180 degree flat crankshaft.
