Default 512 BBi exhaust

I have a 83 512 BBi and it was originally converted by Amerispec. It has the original headers but the exhaust has been converted to what is described as a sport exhaust. Basically the exhaust runs through 4 straight through glass pack type of mufflers. Its loud at idle. I am thinking of converting back to the stock exhaust vs a Tubi. Any thoughts about which one is better vs if switching to an aftermarket exhaust will hurt the value of the car. Thanks in advance.

I don't think either of the exhaust options will have any impact on the value of the car. I would go with the Tubi.

Default Boxer exhaust

Any idea why the Boxer headers have the secondary collector thus a four inlet exhaust. I saw on the Tubi exhaust photos at Caribu showing an option for two collector mufflers vs the four inlet muffler system. Was this for a resonator or to cancel out resonance? Any one switched from a stock boxer exhaust to a Tubi? Are there any performance improvements, .i.e. improved torque. Are there any draw backs, i.e. droning, resonance? Thanks
