Exhaust for a 0-235 Engine
« on: September 08, 2011, 02:53:44 PM »
HI guys
I am very happy  to be a new member of this forum

I am picking up my new(almost) Long EZ  in the next couple of days
My question is--when I was at the airport, I noticed that the airplane
has an exhaust with no muffler. Is it possible to find a exhaust that comes with I muffler???
I hate noise

Thank you !!!!!! ???
Best Regards
Stan Zinger

None of the EZ's had mufflers, that I recall. You really don't
want that muffler weight way back there for W&B reasons anyway.

In the air the sound is much different than a typical front engined aircraft
and it's not as bad in my opinion.

Good luck and have fun with your new Long EZ!

The Swiss EZ guys had to install mufflers - with pipe exiting out the top, pretty ungainly - if you want to quiet the plane a little, get a 3 blade Catto.

Forget the Cato three blade, just put a 6 or 7 inch Saber extension on the crank. Takes a lot of engine noise away immediately.
I'm running a O290D on my Varieze with a new Hertzler prop and 6 inch Saber, I couldn't believe the noise level difference. And I agree a muffler is a no o for performance, If you want quiet by a electric powered aircraft or a Bose headset, Lightspeed are great too.
