>Scott: ...the stock tail pipe is in the corner of the vehicle ..so that a vortex there pulls exhaust away. Don't forget that vortex creates pressure waves that are timed to extract more exhaust from your cylinder for more power and better fuel economy. The exhaust cycle in the cylinder creates positive and negative waves that when timed properly with the length of pipe will actually draw out more exhaust and create a vacuum to pull in additional fuel. That is why some people shorten or extend exhaust pipes an inch or so on racing cars. I think Scott will loose power and fuel economy pulling a trailer with an extended tail pipe for this reason (all though not EXCLUSIVELY for this reason.) ed- 91 DoKa, not modified for track racing.
