      to type an explanation without a visual would take several pages.

      the goal is to create an expansion chamber, like that for a 2 stroke motorcycle exhaust. see google images here.

      suggestions?

        You could do the follow but use more segments in your initial geometry to get desired results

          Other tools you could use:
          Lines to Tubes.
          Pipe on Path
          Tube on Path
          Fredo Scale step by step, ring by ring with orientation of scaling to orientation of rings.

          Curviloft, also, in a series of sections.

          I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.
