Paul,
            What progress on the muffler??  .  Am I better off to
manufacture the whole
thing in Oz as the freight is a big item as usual.?  Also how effective is a
'fish ttail"
in reducing noise ??  Had never heard of one until last night, well one that
wasn't
attached to a fish anyway.   Neil.

I am still working on the RX8 version of as tangential muffler.

A fish tail is good but if used by itself with a 13B it must be beefed
up to with stand the super sonic shock pulsing. IMHO it is not really quiet
enough stand alone on a 13 B. Best used with an under the cowl
tangential muffler as a second muffler. The RX8 may be another
matter as it is quieter to begin with.

Where are you Neil? We have a new subscriber in Newcastle.

Do fish tails act anything like megaphone piping? Every time I look at
a fishtail design I think "it's a squished megaphone."

I don't think so. The area is constant.
