An alternative design approach is to be able to vary the tuned length, LT, as a function <strong>of</strong><br />

engine speed <strong>and</strong> this has been done in some go-kart racing machines with trombone-like<br />

sliding sections within a tuned exhaust pipe. Yet another method is to inject water into the<br />

exhaust pipe at the lower engine speeds <strong>of</strong> the power b<strong>and</strong> to lower its temperature [6.7]. All<br />

<strong>of</strong> these approaches to broadening the effective power b<strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong> the engine rely on some linear<br />

relationship between the exhaust period, 9ep, the tuned length, LT, <strong>and</strong> the reference speed for<br />
