The RC-40 is actually 'straight through' too. I noticed this when I was putting
the system together. But I think there is a lot more to it than that. The RC-40
system is 'tuned' specifically for the a-series engine, and the two cans are
placed a specific distance apart so to enhance 'scavenging' of exhaust gasses,
and to cancel out noise. I think Vizards testing showed that the RC-40 flowed
as
good, if not better than an 'open' pipe.
