Here is what I have so far.

Amazing!  When do you sleep?   I will get the measurements requested
in the other e-mail later this morning.  I see you picked up on the
fact that the muffler is laid over a little bit.  I did not plan to
do it that way, but it solved a bunch of fit-up problems. Also, I
grew to like the idea of the 45º down pipe moving away from the
engine.  It created more space. The muffler will be trimmed to barely
stick out of the cowl, eventually.  The whole design is a first
attempt and I am sure that others will perfect the concept.  It can
be thought of as a stretched out version of your tuned tangential.  I
think the design is a breakthrough  (it certainly is for me) because
it accomplishes the goals of long runners, free breathing, quiet,
inside the cowl, exhaust system .  O.K.  I realize some of these
claims need to be proven but I am confident that whatever problems
come up can be dealt with.   Jerry

I am now totally committed to focusing the next TT on the rotary.
Your cowl rendering will be on the cover.

BTW , will Tracy's controller work with Peripheral Ports?

Tracy?
