Manifold question, how to pair up branches
Question:
I'm busy building a custom bike with a 4-pot engine.
Now ideally I want to pair up two cyllinders into a two-into-one exhaust on either side for looks, but I also don't like the 4-pot sound through open pipes so I'm wondering if it would be good to pair the cyllinders up the way you would if you'd be making a twin-scroll manifold, i.e. 1 and 4 and 2 and 3?
Would it still run right (I don't know why not to be honest) but more importantly; would it alter the sounds a lot and make it less recognisable as a 4-pot?

Food for thought!
Unequal lenght wouldn't be such a problem to create but what sort of lenghtdifference is needed, percentagewise?
Also, it's fuelinjected engine but I have no control over each cyllinder seperatly so would it cause problems? Iguess not as a standard scooby doesn't either?

Of course the subaru has full sequential fuel injection.
Really, just build it whatever way looks best. Unless you're trying to extract every ounce of power/torque for winning races....it will hardly matter.
