That "transparency" concept is very interesting!

"positive pressure outside the air horns beginning at 6500 rpm or so -- sonically forced induction, in a sense."

That really blows me away! in effect the "stand off" is under positive pressure yet uncontained by the air horns, if I understand the concept correctly, Neat!

Yeah, I forgot about the "mooflar" location! That NASCAR side located exhaust is likely the avenue of least resistance. Next time you see an airborne superspeedway car, note the final exhaust section is actually a progressively flattened megaphone shape to preserve the total flowing area, yet get the vertical dimension low. In your case, maybe a 2" by 4.5" section gives the same sectional area as a round 3 inch pipe. Geeze... hard to tell. Neat stuff! Like I said, bet it has a "bark" to it! The guy in the slow lane will know it when you go by at wide open throttle!!
