I believe that 2 stroke (racing?) engines were greatly improved (over a
narrow revolutions band) by tuning the exhaust.
You can tune an exhaust to resonate at certain frequencies. This then
produces an extractor effect. Useful on racing engines with a narrow power
band, but not so much so on a road engine. The same effect is also used on
inlet tracts.
