2) That volume calculation is specifically for an 8 cylinder engine. Hence the "8 times cylinder volume". The calculation also assumes a single pipe exhaust. Another way to look at it: the box needs to be at least the total volume of the cylinders feeding into it, preferably 1.5-2x.

1) can you be more specific in your use of the term 'pressure wave' ?
2) and does David imply that his invention performs regardless of whether the headers are 4-into-1, Tri-Y, or 180-degree ?
3) and everything downstream of his chamber is removed from the tuning equation?
