Homebrew expansion chamber

I’m starting to mock up my exhaust. I’m using the chamber belly section from an old RD 350 pipe. That’s on the small side (both diameter and volume) for a 360, but I want to have a wide, mild-mannered power profile, not a sudden jump to warp speed when it comes on the pipe. And yes, that head tube looks really long, but again, I am going for low-RPM torque. And, it’s really not too much different than what Bultaco put on the Frontera engine originally.

Besides, at this point I am focused on getting it running. If it ends up needing a more scientifically developed pipe later, so be it.
