PlaneKrazee,
The cylinder casting on my Syssa looks as good as any cylinder I've ever owned. Frankly, its external appearance is flawless. Can't imagine the DLE being any better.
I have seen photos in the other thread that show some rough casting on the top fins.
As far as the Syssa muffler is concerned, the engine is close coupled, the single exhaust of the dle is located about as far back as the two Syssa stacks. A properly designed Pitts style muffler does not lower rpm, only db.
