Guys,

I am interested in purchasing a tuned pipe system for my DA50. I am building thinking of building a FF for the DA50, hence a tuned exhaust system should be benificial.

I'd like to know,

1. How much more prop can I swing with the tuned system? What RPM can I expect?
2. Will the throttle response be 'better' or more linear with the tuned system?
3. Overall benifits?
4. Which is the BEST system $$$ can buy?

Thanks in advance.

Regards

PS : This is my first gasser.

check with Joe Hunt on www.downonthedeck.com
he ran a can on a wh extra he may be able to provide you with some answers to your ?'s

Thanks !!

Regards
Marcus

You also could get a hold of Chris Hinson at Extreme Flight as they have the DA 50 set up on a tuned pipe in there 87" Yak.

Can anyone out there recommend a tuned pipe system for a DA-50 powered Aeroworks Extra 260 ARF-QB airplane ?

I have a tuned pipe system on my AW extra 300 & I love it ,never go back to stock mufflers again if I can help it. Mine is MTW header & RE2 pipe.The only difficulty I had was balancing the aircraft also keep in mind tuned pipe set up will add 10 oz to your aircraft compared to the stock muffler.

ES composites pipe only weighs 4 oz I believe. It's CF. The header is probably about 6 oz. You save maybe a half pound over the aluminum?

That's a sharp looking Extra, dam !!

Joe, I weigh both the header & pipe 7 oz each total 14 oz ,CF pipe 4 oz + 7 oz header =11,savings of 5 oz . Not a big deal on a 18 lbs + aircraft even though I am very weight conscious. What I did not like about the CF pipe is that is very temperature sensitive.By the way I installed a velocity stack as you suggested in previous post everything is bone dry.Keep up the good information.Almost 8000rpm on dle 55 , Vess 22-B just switched to synthetic .

marios that's great that the v-stack helped. I'm happy when I help people.
