Fuselage Single exhaust (was Exhaust Question)

[dardal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Yes, this should work just fine.  Many high performance modern cars w/ V8's do 
exactly that.  The reason they are doing it is so that they can have one oxygen 
sensor and/or one catalytic converter and save $.  The only down side is that 
you lose a bit in sound "quality".  Keep in mind that the exhaust restriction 
proportional not to the pipe diameter but the pipe cross section area.  So, a 
4" pipe is 4 times less restrictive than a 2" pipe.
