Default Dual sraight thru exhaust?

I read thru the exhaust Mod Guide and found where it said:

"- When you run duals you'll want an X/H pipe for the scavaging and equalizing effect, you wont get that from straight pipes off of the collector."

I dont know what is meant by. "he scavaging and equalizing effect"...??

For my set up a LT headers to straight pipes would be the easiet route, as far as placement and fabbing goes. But what do I loose by doing straights?

Educate me.

Thanks

tylerdi- Thanks for th elink. I searched and that didnt come up.

mattraypharbor- good info. I think in my application it might be near impossible to ad either unless I did a long tube for the H pipe.

There's another question...does the length of the H pipe between the duals matter?

Yes I have. It covered the topic very well, but didnt answer my question really. It also doesnt have a length lsited for the H pipe. ( I always try and research to find my answer before I post anything).
