After hearing the plane last fall, I can tell you that both the sound level & 'tone quality' are a refreshing departure from typical rotary sound. If Paul finds that he's making adequate power with reasonable fuel economy, he will deserve credit for an amazing 'find'.

Paul,
Thanks for the photos. You're right, its pretty simple. I'm surprised that
it's not louder.

Hi, Steve and thanks for the reply. I am running what I believe to be the
simplest and most bullet-proof exhaust going. I am using the stock cast iron
manifold, (which does a great job of absorbing engine pulses), with a short
8 inch long exhaust pipe. Total weight is 12 pounds. See attached pics.
Everyone at the flying field tells me that it is no louder than the
Lycomings....just a "different" sound some say. Hope this helps. Paul
