Default More Power?

A tuned pipe wont do anything for a 4 stroke. They give 2 strokes a boost because they create a resonant back pressure wave which actually forces some of the exhaust mixture back into the cylinder for a supercharging effect. This works on a 2 stroke because the overlap in intake and exhaust port opening timing can let some of the unburned fuel/air to go out the exhaust.
