Hi Guys,

My RV6A come alive yesterday when I started the Powersport rotary for the
first time.I used Jerry Hey's idea of the tangential exhaust system and am
very pleased with the sound both at idle and right up to about 5000 rpms
which was as high as I went. Idle at 850 rpm is very smooth. The noise is
not excessive and the sound in my mind was very acceptable. The question I
have is, will 304 stainless stand up to the temperatures??? The flange is
.250, the short stub pipes are .125 and the can and downpipe is.065 wall.
304 is all I could find locally at the time but I will redo if necessary now
that I have heard the results.
Thanks for your help,
Gary Van Leeuwen

Congratulations. Hope to see you at OSH.
With those thickness' I think it will do OK.

BTW folks this is a p-port engine.

Hi Gary,

I'm glad to hear the muffler is working well.  I have one from Jerry
(his first I think) that I will be trying as soon as I can get my
engine running.  I would be interested in any reports on how effective
the cool tube is, and how the under cowl temps are doing.

Thanks,
Bob White
