Vibration floorboard conclusion

Kelly

Member
After extensive testing with crossover exhaust vs 4 into 1 exhaust, have reached the following conclusion: It appears the existing vibration ( aerobatic motor mounts) with the crossover is magnified with the 4 into 1 because of smoother engine operation and additional power output. Test involved switching entire exhaust systems and monitoring the vibrations. Different combinations of extensions to the 4 into 1 had little or no effect on the vibration. Even with the collector removed, vibration remained the same.
Aircraft Exhaust Tech are the best people we have worked with in trying to resolve a problem that turned out to be not their problem. They provided the best customer service I have ever encountered.
