Yes; I have a tangential muffle= r. =A0It is light weight, does a nice job of quieting things down, and base= d on dyno results, has little if any power penalty. =A0It is made of .045= =94 inconnel; 5 inches in diameter, and has worked great for 150 hours on m= y 20B. =A0I have internal vanes on the inside opposite the ports at 45 degr= ee angle to help break up the pulses, and help direct the exhaust toward th= e exit at the aft end, which is conical down to a 2 =BE exit pipe.

=A0

I also have a secondary SS muff= ler of my own design which knocks another 6 db off the noise.=

=A0

I think one advantage of the ta= ngential muffler approach is the expansion of the gases close to the port, = and although not computable due to other variables, probably immediately dr= ops the temp somewhat in accordance with Charles Law.
