Just a thought though, in your research Keithy2, was that rebound in the exhaust study with Catalitic converters in place or not? Would they also effect things before the pulse hits the baffle plate?
It would also be interesting to know how engines would be peforming now if manufactures didn't have to comply to all sorts of legislation but instead produce the motors to run how is best for them.

There were no such things as catylitic converters in those days. In a tenere the back baffle is what the converter is attached to i think, and the flow rate of the converter would have to be factored in, i think i have seen a picture of one and it looks like a cylindrical sieve. Talking of flow rates the diameter of the SMALLEST pipe in the whole system is the governing factor, big bore front pipes wont do much unless the whole system is modified to flow more air. Probly the best mod for a tenere would be keep the standard pipes and remove the catalitic converter from the back box.
