Scott,
Notice where Kas routed the exhaust. On the Spit at least, he made the
pipe as straight as possible and exit just in front of the left wheel.
I believe that this straight and tuned length is the key to his HP
increase. And (might I ass) you can't do that for street use since
somehow you have to get a muffler in there!
Regards,
Joe
