Exhaust

Re: Exhaust

At first glance I thought Chuck Avon was right, 150 exhaust. I've installed those before on a tcraft and they're great. Then I went to Barnstormers and looked at the other pics.... I think it's got a regular tcraft exhaust... you can see the exhaust exiting the lower r/h cowl in the picture of it flying..... The only thing I don't understand on the one pictured is the sideways exhaust tip.. interesting. :clue?:: It might just be that setup that High Time Cub has pictured..?

Re: Exhaust

Not sure if that link will work or not but if you look at where the pilot side exhaust exits it seems higher than a Luscombe.

Looks like it could be a rare Ryan system.

Re: Exhaust

Interesting. Any opinions on this set up?

Re: Exhaust

That is either a hanlin wilson (not sure of spelling ) off a Cessna 150 or a Aeronca see the bumps on the side of the cowl to clear the heat muffs.This will give you lots of heat if they changed the cabin heat box on the fire wall.

Re: Exhaust

Oh and Terry's paper work is very complete an makes it legal.Also this is a short mount with a starter and alternator.The combined weight of a A65-8F as the Comtinental manual states with accessories is 198lbs the engine as installed with accessories is 207 lbs the battery is 14 lbs so the C85-12 with a starter and supporting equipment is a gain of 23 lbs. But the luxury of a starter and not propping to start is worth the weight gain.Oh and that can be cut by 12 lbs with a lithium iron battery.

Re: Exhaust

That does look nice! You won me over at "more heat"!!

Re: Exhaust

The luscombe exhaust not only sounds different and good it also makes more heat for the cabin and carb. The easy access to the accessory case. At annual time the inspection of them is a snap and if your cowl is for a lycoming 65 it has the holes all ready in it and the pipes exit in the existing holes.

Re: Exhaust

Now Im really curious. I may have to call the guy. I'd be more interested if it wasn't in Massachusetts and winter!

Many Taylorcrafts have been converted to Luscombe exhausts as they are simple and work well, unlike the taylorcraft exhaust which is prone to leaks and a pain in the a$$.

Re: Exhaust

The original Gilberti STC has you fabricate a 4 into 1 exhaust that exits the on the pilot side.

Re: Exhaust

No four cylinder is going to sound like a 409.

Chris, if it was back in the old days I would say they reversed the negative. Lol.

Rob, I agree with you. I like my 4-into-1 and the way it sounds.

Re: Exhaust

I have duals on my Tcraft, reminds me of my old 409 days. (Maybe nobody remembers those engines/cars.)

Re: Exhaust

No! No...NO..No.no.nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

The 4-into-1 Taylorcraft exhaust is a lovely sound; how could you roughneck ne'er do wells ruin it by sticking dual stacks on? It'll sound like one of those American tractor trucks.

My stainless 4-1 has lasted 2500 hours now, and not a whisper of a crack.
