I guess it's possible on a 4-cylinder with a 4-2-1 header and just omitting the last "Y". not that it would be worth it.

That's not really that valid. The 300SL Mercedes I picked up last summer has a 3.0 inline 6-cylinder (~220HP) and they run a DUAL 2.5 on it until the rear axle where it goes to a 3.0 single into the muffler. I'm pretty sure they didn't do that for no reason.
