Dual exhaust question...will it work?

On my current wagon build, I'm considering running true dual exhausts. By true dual I mean separate ALL the way back, cylinders 1&4 in one pipe, 2&3 in the other.

Will it work? Any known concerns about back pressure or scavenging?

Engine is a D16Z6 with a Jackson supercharger, will be tuned on Crome.

edit: By the way, tuner said that he doesn't know for sure. He hasn't seen it done before.
...I haven't seen it either, that's why I want to do it!

    id imagine youd have issues reading o2 and tuning unless you got a dual wideband, which innovate does make some dual controllers.

    I'd think its possible... but I would put an x pipe or h pipe in the middle of the piping somewhere to even the flow and put the o2 sensor in the middle of that. and you would have to keep small small piping to avoid losing power.

    oooorrr you could have em split going to a twin scroll turbo! then come back to a single can with two outlets like a mr2 or something :D

    Idk bam twin charged wagon? I think that sounds like a halfway decent idea

    Do it!! It should work just fine

    1 5/8s stepped to 1 3/4 with a low angle merge and maybe 2 or 2.25 secondaries out to the back!

    That JRSC isn't very efficient though...an evo twinscroll turbo setup would mop the floor with it!

    it seems everyone else is behind me and seeing as your subframe and my driveshaft are from the same car......honestly i have no idea where im going with this....

    Too complicated! Fool's gold will be a daily-driven monstrosity, I'd like to keep it relatively simple and reliable. The only reason for the JRSC is that I was afraid the little D wouldn't be able to get the tires moving.

    ...although, if there were ever a candidate... with the engine sitting 4 inches lower in the bay...there sure is a lot of room!

    The way you say that makes me think its just begging for it. Just do it and make me happy
