Default Will a DA100 smoke muffler cause a power drop ?

I am getting a DA100 for my QQ Yak102" and plan to have a smoke system in the near future. I was thinking of getting the slimline smoke mufllers instead of the DA standard mufflers, even though I will not run a smoke system now. Will the smoke muffler cause a drop in power? Thanks

All the slimline is is a muffler tapped for a smoke system.

There is enough heat comming out of a gas engine that you will not need heating coils!

The only power drop you will see is from the extra 2-2.5 pounds of smoke oil, smoke pump, battery and plumbing that the DA has to chug around.
