I continue to think outside the box regarding the next rotary I build for my next gyro... I had a thought about the exhaust bark (also known as the screaming banshee)...

I will be grinding the intakes to make a periferal port... why not also modify the exhaust while there???

Why not cut a "V" shape on the current rectangle to allow some of the exhaust to slip out before the apex seal reaches the normal (almost flat) opening of the exhaust port's "leading edge"???

What are the "wheels" that have already been invented regarding this exhaust configuration??

Sorry if it is a moot question... doesn't seem so while I just mull it over though.

Very good idea might work. You may lose a bit of power. If you are not doing it
right away you might want to wait a couple of months and get a side exhaust
port engine.
