Let me add to this that a MGB has 3 (three, I counted) exhaust ports.
What you need to do is get a theoretical, an experimental, and a
computational aerodynamicist to take a look at the problem. Then choose
which of the three different answers is the closest thing that shouldn't
be built.
Dual exhausts past the 3 to 2 manifold is crazy. My headers have a 3 to
1 (huge pipe), and would probably accomplish more.
Of course it has a Monza exhaust on it, so at the rear it looks like a
"dual" exhaust.
