James,  Good question on the back pressure.  I do not have a clue!  I 
calculated the amount of 1/4 inch holes to equal the area of the exhaust 
manifold and added 50% and kept drilling beyond that until I ran out of  
somewhere to drill.   IF there is any difference and I expect there may 
well be, I no longer care as it fits (just) and seems to run very well.  
It is certainly quiet or quieter!   Will the center pipe melt? Again 
time will tell.  I also this time did not put EGT probes in as they kept 
burning off and were a constant source of worry for me simply because I 
knew. Now I no longer know so I no longer worry, probably like the 
possible difference in back pressures.  Agriculture is my main trade 
which ,means I have learnt the art of compromise and how to be "rough". 
It simply has to work, and nothing is perfect. Cheers,
