Hi,

In his book ?Firewall Forward?, Tony Bingellis
describes a Swiss
Muffler. Have anyone tried it on a rotary. I?m
thinking of using it on
my Vision to offset some of the weight of the 13B.

Regards,

Pierre


Its been tried several times on the rotary. The
rotary chews it up and
spits it out.

I might try one downstream of my Hushpower muffler,
depending on how quiet the hushpower ends up being. As
it was with just the hushpower, the engine is not too
loud.

This is a cheap muffler that works well on the rotary because
of the formed steel case. There are no drastic section changes that tend
to fail. It is also stream lined somewhat so it does not add a lot of
drag.
