Matt: So the setup for your exhaust, is more or less the one that Paul
Lamar suggest in his forum, 2 years or so ago.?
The coax muffler ?

(ex2.jpg) The 4" outer pipe (5ft long) is open to the free air and exits behind the rear bulkhead. The 2.5" converts to a 3ft long perforated pipe (ex3.jpg) and exits inside the 4" outer pipe. For fun, I filled it full of ceramic fiber insulation mat, which did help a little until it blew all out.
