Hi
I have a Seagull Edge 540 that I want to put an OS55AX in. Bit it is a small plane and I have to cut quite a bit of the cowl away to make room for the protruding standard muffler.
I was thinking of fitting a pitts muffler onto my engine.
Will a pitts muffler affect performance of the engine in any way?

It truly depends upon the particular muffler manufacturer/model and other things such as prop choice, glow plug, fuel and your tuning habits.
Like the other poster, I've had great luck with Bisson mufflers, although I doubt if they would call it luck. 8>)
Years ago, there were some Pitts mufflers available that would actually cause engine problems because of the location of the muffler pressure nipple being located in not the best positive pressure location. That was a long time ago and I doubt that you could find such a muffler today without going to a lot of effort to find one.
