David,
I think there is no advantage to that.  Actually I believe it would sound
like two 2-cylinder, aka like crap.
It would probably hurt your torque just like a too big pipe diameter
would, unless you made the two pipes rediculously small.
There is a (Monza?) quad system for your car.  It splits before the gas
tank I think and you end up with one dual Monza tip per side.
IMO, it looks ok on an italian car, totally out of place on a Midget (or
Bug or VW Bus)
