Well you got a lot of stuff to sort out here, pipe to short pipe to long to much back pressure , to little back pressure. Wonder you don't just throw up your hands and quit HUH!!.

Actually the exhaust valve closes before the piston starts back down so it can't pull cold air in.

Back pressure is your worst enemy as it keeps the cylinder from clearing all the spent gas.

Shorter pipes will cause the valves to run a little hotter and the noise surely will hurt the ears.

I like to have one that is about 3 ft. in length for better running and sound. Put a curve on the end and turn it away from you.

Don't hurt to have a good flow though muffler though.
