They were also going to the level of having these extra lips on the inside of the headers just after the motor to help cancel reversion.

So yes it can give better spool etc, but it'd be marginal and would have to be thoroughly designed.
books name and author please

to the two above not trying to be a smart ass, but would genuinely like to see some proof of claims a smaller exhaustw ill increase spool,
