One way to take out the high frequency component of the exhaust is to
reflect the high frequency component back up the exhaust pipe. This can
be done by making a concentric
pipe muffler with a 90 degree cone at the end of the exhaust pipe the
internal pipe looks at this cone. The external concentric pipe takes the
exhaust out by reversing the direction of the gas flow and having the
gas exit from this pipe via a right angle tube. Does it work - yes - I
have built one and can demonstrate it. Basically all that is heard is
prop tip noise.
I have not measured back pressure so that I do not know if any
horsepower is lost. But it is sure quiet.

Give me a couple of dimensions here Chris and I will do a 3D.
What is the diameter of the internal pipe?
External pipe diameter?
BTW here are some pictures of Chris's airplane.

Push-pull Twin Canard... Now, THAT'S interesting!
What's the cruise speed? Vne? Fuel flow? Climb? etcetcetc. Please :)

Paul, Could you apply the same organ pipe tuning to this to improve
exhaust scavanging the same way that you do the P-port intake.
The above message went tripple space when I clicked reply, anybody know
why.
