322 Inline dual setup

[starkoel19]

Hi
I have a 320 cu in inline 8 Engine with a dual exhaust setup in my 1950 Buick Sedanette. To go officially on the road in Switzerland with this dual exhaust setup I need an "evidence" that the dual exhaust setup was an original option in the years of the car. Does anybody have a documentation that shows or describs dual exhausts for a 320 cu in engine?
Many thanks for your help in advance!!!
Regards,
Bernard

Dual exhaust was never an option for the 1950 320, but it was for 1941 and 1942...both years also had "Compound Carburation"; 2 carbs/plenums, 2 heat risers, 2 exhaust flanges. But I believe they merged into the same muffler.

Dual Exhaust

Hi
Many thanks for the pic. I will show the pic to the Swiss Motor Department, so they will see that it was an option in this epoch for the straight 8.
Many thanks again!
