The squashed exhaust tip really bugs me, does anyone know why it is like this?

I think im gonna cut it off. anyone else done the same? It will increase the power to weight ratio if nothing else!!!!

Just a guess it could be a venturi? which increases velocity of the exhaust gases. and may even improve the performance?

someone suggested it aids back pressure ? i dont know but if it bothers you that much dont look at it!!

as far as i'm aware its done to make the the exhaust a little quieter like the old morgans fish tails

What, Like a big cloud of steam! :smt081

the bigger hole is to let all that steam out

if it were a smaller hole you might get some forward motion though with steam power
