Dear Paul
     I have a suggestion why not make the 1st. dyno  testing type muffler 
out of steel. I know the rotary eng. will do it in a
very short time. just to see if concept  has any merit and to 
keep cost down.On center tube would it help for  expansion and
contraction if a small piece of tube was welded into donut front 
end with end in muffler expanded  to accept long inner tube. I
am open to suggestion about how to secure inner tube to inside of 
tail pipe to keep centerd. I am waiting on dim. and a flange
to be bolted to my 13b motor if anyone can come up with this I can start work.
                                                               Regards

That's is fine with me Ed as we will have to make some changes anyway.
What thickness steel sheet do you have lying around?

We are hashing out the details of the aft support for the center pipe.
Please send me your shipping address as Doug will ship you a flange.
