Mark,

Thanks, but I will probably go with the Hushpower as well.=

I am really interested in hearing some performance numbers for your plane as soon as you have some??!!  I am expecting it to be a real rip= snorter with that clean Lancair airframe and hairy chested 3 rotor!

Climb rate, with engine numbers, cruise, with engine numbers, GPH??

Bill,

I forgot to mention that once I have the Hushpower II installed, you can ha= ve the "auger" muffler if you want it.  It isn't the quiete= st on the block, but it is lots quieter than an open header rotary.

Bill,

The body of the Hushpower II Resonator is only 12" long.  Cut the inlet down to about 1/2" and it should fit right in there.

Bill,
Yes, the "auger muffler" is still hanging in there after 20 hrs o= f ritualistic torture.  It looks like it has what it takes to "take= a licking and keep on ticking".  The only problem is that it isn= 9;t as quite as I had hoped.  So, I have decided to try a Hushpower II resona= tor.  And it WILL be inside the cowl.  I will not hang a muffler (even a pre= tty SS one) under the belly of my airplane.  If you do that to your Legacy= I will have to rip it off and beat you with it.

Thanks, Mark.

Are you going to hang it under the plane or try and install it inside the cowl?&nbs= p; How is your exhaust insert holding up?  Has it blown out yet?  I assume that the largest inlet for the resonator is 2.5=85 I didn't see anything larger.  I suppose I will have to neck mine down, but that wi= ll add to the length, so I may have to hang it under the plane.<= /p>

I just ordered one.  Got it off ebay.  Here is the description...=

 Did anyone happen to get the part number of Dennis' muffler at Tracy's = fly in?  I seem to remember that it was a resonator, not a muffler.  I would like to see if I can find = one but have not found anything that looks like the one he has.  My exhaus= t is 3" and his is 2 =BD , so I will either have to find a slightly larger = size, or neck my exhaust down to go through it.

Help would be appreciated=85my engine is LOUD!
