Stewart, that is effectively an elongated X pipe.
If you want a bit more noise, have it cut out and replaced with straight through pipes.
There are arguments about which design is better, straight, X pipe, H pipe or something like yours, no hard evidence of power effect on Soarers, but having any sort of balance pipe is quieter than straight pipes.

in theory an x pipe should give a boost in mid range torque/power as it helps with the scavenging effect combined with the v8s uneven fire pattern. The same reason having 2 separate pipes makes it sound more 'v8ey'.
