Hi,

I've currently got an awful stainless sidepipe on my SIV, its very small
bore and restrictive (I think, as the car is running a Holbay with twin
40s) and it sounds very agricultural.

So I've recently bought a 4 branch manifold to replace the old setup.
Question is: I would like to take the two pipes from the end of the
manifold into two silencers at the rear (I can't afford a Tiger, so this
is as close as I can get!).

do many people do this?
any recommendations for silencer type size?
would I loose too much 'back pressure'?
would it sound as wonderful as I am hoping? 
is this just a silly idea?
