I must say, it is much louder...much. I will need to wear ear plugs under my helmet from now on. It's not DG (lack of silencer loud) but it's close.


Hey meth you may have to make a custom muffler.
I had a formula car with a peripheral port rotary Engine. A rotary is actually a two stroke. It screamed and the exhaust was so hot you could see it glow on a sunny day as I went down the straight. Mufflers only lasted two races and I had to make my own. I did contact Jim Downing in Atlanta. He ran IMSA rotary cars. He told me if I could build a muffler to 105db that lasts and didn't create back pressure he would make me a millionaire. I did a lot of research and even bought a noise meter. Had to because the faggots would make us run 105db or we would get black flagged if over. I got a book on gun silencers and it was very helpful as well. Basically high frequency don't go around corners well. I built corners into my mufflers but this also creates back pressure which is deadly to power on a rotary. It was a give and take. You could not use packing because it would just burn out in a few laps. There were guys running very long straight through mufflers with packing that were successful but my issue was that I had a formula car and the Engine is at the back like an oddy. Not much room for a long muffler. Since our two strokes don't really run that hot that far back I bet you could use some packing to prevent "pinging" and two corners to kill the high frequencies. The most effective mufflers I ran were the non packing spiral core. I bet this would work well on the oddy.
Just a few thoughts.

This is what I basically made for my race car: http://www.jegs.com/p/Moroso/Moroso-Spi ... 9/10002/-1
One of these with a narrowed end to fit the pipe and a choked off exit. This would prevent high frequencies from escaping.

Would mini resonator have an impact as well? Cancel out the higher annoying frequencies.
CO, I guess it's unlikely but I'll ask anyway, did anyone try that on the race circuit?
Then next question would be, does a two stroke resonator exist? Maybe touring sleds, more comfort than performance in that crowd.

Not sure about that mini resonator use on the race track. I never noticed it on any car but then again I had no time to look around and spy. I was just to busy trying to keep my car running.

CO, all very interesting...Believe it or not...I used to make very effective fire arm silencers for customers...But that's a whole other story>>>>>>

I have some simple fixes I'm gonna try, and if they don't work, I like your thinking about this. Wearing ear plugs will kinda stink..

Bump for reading later
Thanks for sharing.
Thought I seen a paper port map some where with numbers.
Was going to enter into a spreadsheet.

Just read this thread, your work is insane! I can believe how nice and neat it looks in such a cramped space! What do you do for a living, this can’t just be a hobby for you? Is that your shop at home? So that’s a Rands Head you modified, and did you completely fab the water cooled cylinder?

Thank you for your kind words. Yes this is a side hobby for me. I'm a scientist by trade (Biochemical Engineering). That is my home shop, I try to outfit it with the tools I need to do jobs exactly the way I envision them, no one will do it the way you will do it. That is a modified Rands head, and yes all the work on the cylinder and piston was performed by me in my shop.
