Hello, Know that the DA85s are all broken in, what are your results on a pipe with 27" props? Looking forward to your responses,

Yes, nice that when you jump to the 42% you can just keep the pipe for the DA170 if you sell the DA85.

The total header length from engine manifold to the first baffle in the pipe should of been 850mm idealy, but the plane crashed before we could get any real adjusting of header length (Check your wing bolts!). The header was custom made using a MTW header kit, Ian Howard and Mick Dakers (The guys who built/owned the plane) silver soldered it themselves to get the ideal drop and wraparound. Chris B.

Chris, What was the power and response like throughout the range? Some guys think that only top end improves with a pipe. What are your feelings on this?
