Powerflow exhaust on an RV6?

RV-6 exhaust

If you want to get maximum performance on your RV-6 exhaust, get a 4 into 1 exhaust system. Bring your wallet :)
 
You have to ask what a Powerflow is trying to achieve. For an OEM certified system that is (was) cheap to make and achieved certification carb heat numbers, max power was never a consideration for most O-320 powered aircraft. Therefore a Powerflow can be a sensible replacement when the original falls to pieces. A typical RV with a Vetterman exhaust is close to the ideal. A Powerflow would provide little, if any, power gain. In most set-ups there is not much room for a muffler, so that isn't a consideration. Nothing stopping you trying!
