Usually it is the opposite, higher output pickup, better SPLIT coils. Reason being you split a 9k humbucker, you get a weak arse 4.5k single coil. You split a 13k bucker, you get a 6.5k single coil. Still not all the way there due to extra magnet pull and all that jazz but you get the point.
You won't find coil taps on a humbucker, but any 4 conductor humbucker can be coil split. I have a set of these, wired up series/screw coil/parallel. They split pretty good. Any bareknuckle can be orderred 4 conductor. Those pickups are pretty nice too, I used it for all the rhythm on my latest recording, broke out the ASAT for the leads though, it had something in clarity.
