Vetterman exhaust system


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.
