Hi Joe,
I do exactly that, two headers one for each exhaust
port. Here are two possible downsides, louder exhaust note - its a fact
that putting the two into one collector and muffler makes it easier to lessen
the noise factor. The second possibility is that with the right lengths
you may be able to get some scavenging effect by combining two headers.
The plus side is easier to fabricate and perhaps less
exhaust back pressure.

What downsides are there to running
individual exhaust pipes from each rotor instead of combining into a manifold
and single exhaust. This question came after seeing a picture
of a P-51, which has 12 individual exhaust stacks. The immediate
advantages are: easier fabrication, no need to allow for manifold/pipe
expansion.
Thanks,
Joe
