Bill,
It has not and probably will not be. It is a near standard Vetterman.
I was at one of his forums also, hard to hear with all of the noise and hard
to see the video screen with the sky reflections. I think that his
accomplishment is remarkable but it seemed to me that the exhuast stuff was
done kinda all at the same time, except for the exit nozzles and their
diameters. It also seemed to me that many of the "problems" that he fixed
are not there on a Tailwind, to say nothing of the rollover protection that
we have.
In the auto racing world, anti-reversion cones are used to broaden the range
of power at lower rpm and are most needed when an engine has a cam that is
actually too wild for the application. In our applications, we should not
have a wild cam so I don't see much of an advantage. They make the tubing
area next to the flange fat and make it difficult to get a wrench on the
nuts to hold the system on.... There is some anti-reversion effect in the
diameter change from the (smaller) port to the exhaust tube in most
applications.
I did do an anti-reversion system for my roadster (drag race) when I used a
cam that was "too much" and was able to do back-to-back comparisons and
found no measurable difference except how hard it was to get the system on
and off.
All that said, I will probably do a system this winter for the Tailwind, It
will probably be a 4-into-1 with equal length primaries. Right now I want to
fly for a while.
