I hear that, and with the engine
behind you, the sound probably isn't so bad. Thing is, I have watched the
ongoing discussions of exhaust problems that most have been having with 13B's,
and naturally my concern is both sound, and longevity. The turbo version
of the 20B is supposedly pretty quiet in comparison, we'll see. What are
those vents on top of the wings that we see from the rear in the video?
The consensus around my hangar is that
the sound is no louder and no less pleasant than a Lyc. It’s just that
mine is unique – sounds more like a twin. But I have both tangential
muffler and resonator. I am also concerned about longevity, which is why I
chose inconel for the headers and tangential muffler; and further support the
system near the exit.
Those are for the exit air from the wing
root oil cooler on one side, and a radiator on the other. Inlets are
underneath.
