Re: Purist question re: "Bundle of Snakes"

This is very evocative stuff, as half the battle is in the "noise". However, my question was as to the correct terminology as applied to crossover systems in general rather than their technical attribues.

I suppose my question should have read:

"Why do owners of mid-engined cars consistently and erroneously (in my view) refer to their crossover exhaust systems as a "bundle of snakes exhaust" when this terminology was applied to the appearance of the DOHC exhaust configuration of the Ford Indy engines - a very different configuration from a crossover exhaust in a conventionally exhausted V8" ?

Just a debate, is all folks.....
