Now here is where I disagree with the \"muffler in the rear\" folks. I dont like sending hard pulses down a long pipe. At different speeds you can get some real strange things going on. We would need a lot of dyno time to see who is right. We chose to keep the muffler close so it could damp down the hard pulses before we send it through a long pipe. Are we right---again I dont have a clue. Its just the way we are going to do it. There is hope we just got a drive on dyno in our area. We might just do a rally down here to see if we are right. Hey we all are just trying to make things better.
