I have a US820 chamber on my Copperhead / Vintage engine and have removed the outer muffler section now there appears to be a second and shorter inner tubed baffle on the end of the secondary cone ........ now if i remove this second and smaller tubular section and fit a stinger that i can tune then what size in diameter should it be ??

You really have it easy compaired to karting. You operate in a narrow RPM range.
I would make a clamp for the cone and make stingers of diffrent lengths and ID's and just try them.

Do you move the flex any? Do you know what moving the flex does?
Have you messed with tapered headers any?
What RPM range do you operate in?
I think you could do much better than that spec pipe for a 820.
What is your port timing?
Compression ratio?
Squish band?
Head angle?
CC's

Sorry Bob but you can't ask vague questions like this and expect black and white answers.

BTW I have read that book hundreds and hundreds of times. Along with anything else I could get my hands on.

The two cycle engine is a simple little thing.....until you try to understand it. They arn't as tempermental as woman but they'll drive you just as mad :twisted:
