Paul,  would it be possible to exit the exhaust pipe(s) directly below
the exhaust ports or straight out from the exhaust ports  and run it
outside the cowl? Perhaps the cowl could be tunneled  so the exhaust

It would be VERY noisy :) I think you will need some sort of muffler.
Perhaps an internal tangential and a an external one. Tracy new Flow
Master muffler is holding up well and it does not add that much drag
and it is relatively cheap. Much cheaper than a spin tech.
Here are a couple of pictures I took a few weeks ago while
I was in Florida. It is not round. It is wide and flat. Tracy's
thinks the reason it is living so well is the fact that joints
are minimized being made from steel pressings.

I am sure he bought it at Napa as that is where he gets all his
parts. Only auto parts store in all of Bell :)

Laura can you find the receipt for Tracy's Flow Master muffler
and get the part number for us? Thanks. I don't want to bug
Tracy as I am sure he is making and shipping parts.
