Hi,

     In his book ?Firewall Forward?, Tony Bingellis
describes a Swiss
     Muffler. Have anyone tried it on a rotary. I?m
thinking of using it on
     my Vision to offset some of the weight of the
13B.

     Regards,

     Pierre

Paul, and Group,
Isn't the "Swiss Muffler" that Tony mentions in his
book really a glass
pack? That is a perforated tube through a larger
cylinder packed with
some kind of sound asorbing material. In a rotary
the heat consumes the
sound deadener and then the exhaust pulses break up
the perf tube.
  This is really one of those a rose by any other
name problems. This is
a question often asked by new people. They are just
being fooled by the
name. It's like saying your car has a Hotchkiss rear
suspension. Which
is just a fancy sounding name for a beam axle! We
need to slay the Swiss
Muffler!

Well,
I'm still going to consider it as a post-muffler
muffler. It depends on how loud my engine ends up
being and whether or not I can get it to work in a
practical manner or not. If anything, I'll just do
some testing on the ground and see what happens.
