Guys with chambers that are loud. Did you notice the diameter of the perf pipe seams too large? Or is it just me
I know there is a rule as to what size outlet (stinger) dia is to be.
If too large dia it it doesn't matter how much packing for always loud (unless it was much longer I suppose and thats just restriction too).
I had a set of loud pipes a while back and as experiment I put a smaller short tube as choke. It was quiter and did not seam to hurt performance. I did not leave for it was just a test and not designed to secure well.
I do have a pipe or two that are louder than I like.

I do think direct injection used on very recent two stroke designs cures this issue of fuel short circuit. They still use some oil though. Wonder if it could pass DOT emission laws?
