Interesting stuff Ernest,  Hope this turns up some good results.

I haven't had time to really go into muffler theory so I've just observed
what the car & motorcycle makers do.  Based on these observations only,
I've concluded that unless we come up with a new concept, there is no
substitute for size and cubic inches.  There is also a very important issue
of muffler volume to outlet area ratio.   My 70 HP ATV has an unbelievably
small outlet and works very well.  I'm going to try different size outlets
on the -4 installation and see what I can learn.

Tracy
