Doug,
How do you get two 2” pipes to go
into a single 2” pipe?
I looked you up on AirNav. It is
about a thousand miles from Florida
and the weather between was not good, so I couldn’t make it. Why do
you think so many drove in??

Question...
I did a couple of searches in the
archives but couldn't really find the answer I was looking for so will post it
here (sorry if this has be flogged in the past).
I have a collector that is a 2 inch. OD
pipe (from Burns SS I think), and it is fed by two 2 inch pipes coming from my
exhaust manifold. My question is what are you guys (who have been flying
for a while) finding works well as I proceed downstream? Should I keep it
at 2 inches as I run it to a muffler, or should it be increased it size in an
attempt to slow it down, decreased in size, etc. prior to hitting
the muffler. I have yet to decide on a muffler so also am wondering if
this is something I will have to attempt to build myself; or have some you had
good luck by now with a certain brand?
I think I read a while back that
some of "decreased" the pipe size slightly as it comes out of
the muffler (to the tip) and that reduced noise a bit and didn't
really effect performance...is that true?
P.S. Had good turn out at our EAA
sponsored Burger Burn and beautiful weather...but only one guy actually flew
in...maybe Dennis / Mark / Bobby / Bill E. will be able to come up
for visit next year! :)
