Default Would it work well?

I just got a thinkin' How well would a turbo manifold run if it was a 4-2-1 design? Like the 1 and 2 runners meet into one and the 3 and 4 runners meet into one and then they both meet into a 2-1 collector.

Just curious. Any ideas on it flowability (like my words :P) compared to a equal length? Think of this design as an equal length, but the end runners merge with the inner runners.

Well any ideas?

hmnmm.. I've seen plenty of 4 into 1 style manifolds.

I think that it would be a waste of energy to drag it out that long in order to get the true 4-2-1 effect.

damn my description sucks.

Well since my description sucked I tried to draw out a picture, it's basically an equal length done half *** I guess.

The runners would be so short it wouldn't matter, or it would place the turbo too low to drain the oil.

I suppose you could loop it WAY up first and then start the 4-2-1 design, but then you run into hood clearance issues.

If you don't understand it you need to sit in your 'leather' seats. Did your supplier say they were 'JDM'

I was thinkin' something like beau's bull horn setup, but on the outter runners, go half *** and just merge it with the inner two. I guess I may just scrap it
