[QUOTE="Speedtwin, post: 173317, member: 5012"] Some detail on cones from tuner friend I pulled out. "Torque cones are tapered pieces of tubing that fit into your existing exhaust pipes, usually up near the port end of the pipe. They start at the normal pipe diameter and reduce to a smaller diameter in a very short distance. The object is to increase the exhaust gas velocity, which decreases the exhaust gas pressure at the downstream end of the cones. Having less pressure at the end of the cone helps prevent reversion, or exhaust gases traveling back up the pipe into the combustion chamber during valve overlap, or that time period when both intake and exhaust valves are open. Since the gases are at a higher pressure upstream, the lower pressure gases downstream can't flow backwards will be useful for you as the Vincent exhaust ports are to large really for this engine maybe an old design issue try them out go for it let me know." This was a while ago since then we have been experimenting with them in various twins including my own Rap. We recently pulled apart a well known French race twin and found they had beat us to it it already had from the factory race team cones inside the headers so good enough for them.. Allows you to have nice meaty down pipes with all the advantages of a narrower section pipe. [/QUOTE]
