Nonsense? The conversion is $150! I said if he really wanted to get some Extra kick out of it he could add a pipe. It's already going to keep up with or beat a DL if he added a pipe it would walk all over a DL with a pipe. Please re-read my post.

**General statement**

IMO Too many people think the DL-50 is the answer to everything. None of the mufflers I have seen so far hold up properly, including the silent beauty or whatever it is from Troy Built. The engines mid range is not all that and there are complaints of things going wrong after getting 30-40 gallons on them. We have a couple at our field and seen several in my travels.

I think its a great engine for your average sport flyer that flies a couple times a month but for someone who burns 2+ gallons a week I don't think it's a smart investment.

**Once again this is my opinion only.**
