Okay so I recently bought a 1986.5 Toyota Supra MK3 with the 7M-GE (N/A motor). It's an inline 6 with the firing order 1-5-3-6-2-4 where cylinder #1 is at the front of the engine where the timing belt is and 6 is at the back near the fire wall.
For the longest time, I have been absolutely in love with the exhaust note of a Mazda triple rotor engine, also known as the 20B. Observe:

Now here is my question, if I were to do a certain header setup, could I achieve a similar sound? obviously it won't sound as "fierce" since the car will have small cams and what not (and its a piston engine, not a rotary).
I was thinking I could merge cylinders 1 with 6, 2 with 5, and 3 with 4. This way it would be a 6-3-1 design rather than a 6-2-1 or 6-1 which are more common. From what I can work out, this will give my exhaust a pulse with every 120 degree turn of the crankshaft just like there would be in a 3 Wankel rotary. Has anyone tried this on any kind of inline 6 before?
PS, I am asking for the effect on the exhaust note only, nevermind horsepower or ease to manufacture. I have a 6-2-1 header now and I don't like the sound, reminds me of a Chevy Lumina with redneck pipes.
