Thanks for the positive thought . I think what I'll do is buy a nice set of 2 1/2"
turbo mufflers, and go back a few feet on the 2' pipe already built and install a step up. Then run 2 1/2" to mufflers.
Gases expand and actually pull exhaust similar to the two stroke expansion chambers. Not knowing what the formula is,
I'll just experiment and see what happens.
