anyone know why no companies designed a different exhaust other than y-pipe?

I have not experimented with Bridgeported motors at all, so I can't say. Based on the thread that Nihilanthic posted, it would appear on paper (or electrons) that a true dual may not be as effective as tuned collector header could be on such a motor.
I suspect, that because typically a bridgeport or agressive street port/J port has a much peakier power curve, that since a header is tuned for a specific RPM, you could match up a little better. You know, if you are making power from 4500 to 7500 on a agressive port motor, you could tune the header for 6000 or 6500 and it would be a great match.
You might want to talk to the guys at RB or Mazdatrix for a more agressive porting situation and see what they recomend.
But if your power curve is near stock, you couldn't tune a header to work well the in the whole power curve from 2000 to 6500. Maybe if you did a varible dynamic exhaust (VDE??? instead of VDI) Or again, didn't mind the trade off/ compromise in trying for peak power.
