Default RE: Is anyone making diffusers for the intake

The reason is simple.. All these engines are sensitive to back pressure or the exhaust.

With all the differnet planes and differnet engines it would require tunning each 6 to 36 inch long
sealed exhaust for that engine....

I tell you this.... It would make some planes much faster because the exhaust velocity would
be around twice as fast.. ( On a sleek plane)... But because most plane can get to 200 mph
it is something that is not required and too much trouble..
