Overview
This aircraft is equipped with a Vetterman tuned exhaust system.
Benefits of Vetterman exhaust
- Exhaust systems are tuned to produce more power on less fuel.
- Systems are manufactured from 321 (the industry standard) stainless steel tubing.
- Tube bending is done in-house to ensure that exhaust systems fit the engine and airframe.
- Slip joints are installed in critical locations to reduce system breakage.
- Flanges are precision-laser cut from ¼ - 304 stainless steel.
- Each flange is machined for good sealing between blow-proof gaskets and cylinders.
- Systems are TIG welded with appropriate filler rod and argon purge.
Slip joints in N9103D's exhaust system are regularly lubricated with Mouse Milk to promote longevity.
