I'm hoping it will prove to be a great resource for quick questions and interesting discussions between builders, especially during "off" hours when the Velocity factory is closed.

Use it however you want: chat with others, have it on in the background while you work, ask a question of whoever is around, or whatever. Want to set up a quick video conference with someone on the Reflector? Send them the link above. On the phone with the factory and wish you could draw a diagram? Send them the link above and use the whiteboard. Want some company during your annual condition inspection? Log in for the whole weekend!

The Reflector is OK; email it to anyone; mentioning it on Brett's forum is fine; but please do not post it anywhere public like Facebook groups or EAA forums. This address is an auto-login address and if it is spread around too much, it will soon be overrun by Internet scum.

>>> Cutting the end of the exhaust stack at an angle on one half of the end so it is not square decreases the noise.  So half of the opening is at 90 degrees with the pipe and the other half is at some angle of at least 15 degrees off.  This is not optimal for tuned exhaust and power recovery but much less noisy.

The factory exhaust joins  the 3 together under the forward cylinder. The Custom exhaust joins them under the middle cylinder.
