So it's not a VAM /muffler/, just a VAM.

Like a PIN isn't a PIN /number/, just a PIN.

Ben and all,
Yep it's just an Acronym for Vortex Augmented Muffler.

So it's not a VAM muffler it a VA muffler and as the original idea of a
Vortex  may not be totally true in some more recent changes to the original
design (describing my own modifications) , so it's A muffler- but VAM is
catchy name and Paul must be credited with the original description.
I personally thing it's a great name and intend to continue to use it, to
describe the sort of muffler we are trying to develop for Aviation.
