 Looks pretty good. I like that three rotor tangential muffler.
 Are those things welded into the muffler internal vanes Al? Hope they
 are Inconel :-)

As if the intake manifold wasn't advertisement enough, Cliff Manzke was my
chief designer on the opposed piston A/C diesel at GA-ASI.  His expertise is
in manifold/airflow/turbo design and dynamics of all types including
torsional vibration.  He quit to start his own engineering consulting
business and only does fabrication to support his racing habit and fill
certain types of orders.
