Yep,, black sounds Good to me, 1&7/8ths sounds Great,,Crimineee, is it possible for it to be too big? I know nothing about exhaust theory, except it's gotta go somewhere & easy flow is< as well as I understand it, the idea. If it gets Too easy, is there a price to pay? Of course, adjusting baffles on a Trapp would handle that I guess..

Maybe what I need is a single walled Raask,,tokeep it easy to work with & simple.

REEL>> Is there any issue created by such a large diameter header? Would a Supertrapp be okay on it? I know I am not about to run spend this $$ any time soon, because of the piston deal, but I woulkd like to be rteady if a deal comes up. Anyone with cautionary ideas on this? Upside?

Yes you can have to big of an exhaust port - what is suppose to happen with the cam overlap is the piston gives the exhaust a push thus it has a running start this setups a neg pressure in the cylinder and the intakes starts to open a bit before the exhausts close - if you have too big of an exhaust port it will go back into the cylinder - this is called reversion - a number of companies make an anti-reversion cone - it's looks like a metal doughnut that goes in the pipe at the head - the head of the savage has this built into the exhaust port - so there is certainly a danger of porting the exhaust to far. Too big a pipe maybe but most of the flow is controled at port/cone. Fair quick read below

Uh Huhh, I read it & now I know what to do. I am gonna need someone to just TELL me what pipe will be appropriate for the cam, piston,displacement & rpm range. Uh Huhh, I am just that smart..

I kept reading stuff here there and everywhere, and after going back and forth several times I finally settled on a 1.75" OD pipe to use for the header. It seemed to be the best compromise, everything considered.

I have thought of making another one using a stepped design and starting with a 1.5" ID and ending with a 1.75"ID before going into a 2.5-3.0"OD muffler. But with all the stuff happening these past months I have just not had the time. I would be fun though.

Now that's getting close to a two stoke expansion chamber with a bounce back if you put a cone on the end of that 3" pipe - those really do semi supercharge a 2 stroke as they pull the intake charge out the exhaust and after the intake port is cover by the piston the bounce back stuffs it all back in - only works for a narrow rpm range but boy can you ever feel it - bout doubles the HP all of a sudden.
