Hey mate,
I was just wondering if you could tell me how this principle is different to normal physics (Bernoulli's principle) *I included a diagram* which state that a convergent duct creates a low pressure and increased velocity, where as your saying a divergent duct creates a low pressure and increased velocity.
Is it possible you could elaborate on this a little as I dont quite understand.
sorry if Im way off the mark here.

the exhaust gas pressure is higher in the manifold than in the exhaust pipe,its not hard to work out that the gasses will naturally move to the area of least pressure.
all maths aside,try it,it works

It works on the same theory as an expansion chamber on a 2 stroke bike.

Picked up the new manifold and modified exhaust housing today. Both the manifold and exhaust housing have been coated with the latter being modified to accept the 50mm Turbosmart Pro Gate. They look sensational. Leigh, you do exceptional work! Couldn't be happier!!!
Completed assembly:
Collector:
Exhaust housing modification:
If it has this plate, it rocks!
Beat that!
Freshly coated:
