Brian,

How many commitments do we have?   I know that we haven't heard from several who will be

interested.

Ken Powell

We've heard from:
Gaylen Lerohl
Bob White
Dean Van Winke
Bill Shertz
Ken Powell
Dave Leonard
Peter Cowen
Brian Trubee
Marc Wiese
Gary Palmer
Did I miss anyone?
Do I recall  correctly that Ed Anderson spoke up about his interest in this  around a month ago?

So,  We're about halfway there.
One point that Perry, Lynn and Paul brought up is that the two pipes should merge before dumping
into the muffler in order ot reap the benefits of tuning the headers.
Ken is of the opinion that what matters is the individual length of the header, not whether it
merges into another header at that point.
My understanding is that you have a pressure wave going down the header, follwed by a low pressure
wave. You tune the length of the header so that you have the lower pressure (At a give speed) when
the  exhaust port opens again. I could be wrong about this, I've been wrong in the past. Just ask
my wife.

Another benefit of the 2 into 1 scheme is that it eliminates another costly merge fitting.

We should get some sort of resolution on this for the sake of getting our tuning right.  Anyone
have any data on this?
