I like the new design. You can turn the exhaust nozzle 360 degrees. I think I will get one for my RV-4 since it will shoot the exhaust out of the cowl better.

Hey you know, that film The Deliverence has painted a picture of rural USA that has us European visitors to your country clinging onto big city urban lifestyle like an Alabama tic! Don't you dare set foot out side the city boundries! Unless you wish to be Rogered senseless in a swamp.
That's right. We have things in our swamps that eat Europeans as appetizers. Mostly, Georgians.

The latest Model Aviation magazine from the AMA has an article on the new Alpha and it shows the muffler as being "compact" compared to the olders style muffler.

I can understand that as the entire muffler is joined the the cylinder by a short stub instead of the long header tube and then the tube/pot type muffler added on the end of that.
No, I like what I saw. It was certainly a larger, real chamber instead of the tube/oil deflector I've refered to. Yet at the same time appeared more compacted as an assembly compared to the MKI's that, lets face it, haven't seen any type of design development since the launch of the modern model 4 stroke decades ago!
It's a step forward.

If you want a nice looking and "realistic" sounding 4-stroke muffler for most all of the 4 cycle motors, check out Performance Specialties mufflers at http://www.pspec.com/
Nice looking, reasonably priced, Dave has several different engine/muffler elbows combinations to go with them.
