Status: offline 		Would the Jett muffler qualify for the SPA?  Does anyone know how the Mac's mufflers perform?  I'm talking about their bolt ones that are in the shape of a header pipe.  I could always remove the tuned pipe and bolt a muffler on for SPA.

Thanks,
J

Status: offline 		I was using a MACS muffler on my Webra Speed .61 powered Dirty Birdy at the SPA contest in Asheville last summer. A couple of other flyers were using the canister style Jett muffler on their OS side exhaust engines. So by direct observation, I saw the OS's clearly out perform my Webra. They're ugly, but they do work! I'll be putting one on my Webra this year.

Status: offline 		Been using MACS for most of those 35 years. In fact I still have the one that I used in the 74 Nats. That one got me kicked off the flying field last year (too noisy). Fortunately, there is another club in my area that has a pretty isolated flying field. No noise issues there, and I no longer belong to the first club.

Status: offline 		If this is the Macs muffler that you are talking about, it is not a performance muffler. It is a lightweight replacement for a stock pipe.

On the other hand, this is a performance pipe.

Status: offline 		Here's what it looks like.... no, I don't know why my fuel line is not connected to the engine..... I'm guessing that the photo was taken before the airplane was ready to fly.
