• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I am about to get back to mocking up my exhaust. While I am not going to go crazy about it, I would like to target the correct, equal length. I talked to the exhaust builder, they say it is typically 32-36 inches. There is a CAFE report that says the IO-360 "likes" 40 inches. I called Zivko to see what they are using but I have not received a response. I understand there are a lot of variables but, as I said, I am trying to get into the correct ballpark. In my case, I will be running:

IO-540 EXP from a Edge 540, high compression pistons, Barrett cold air induction
6:1 exhaust
planned 2500 rpm design point

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Chuck
