Other can be of a Cry end error method, I had contact with a guy on "Continental motor" he didn't give out to much info, or they just don't know about what real power will be installed, or don't want to tell. Or is scared from all lawyers IF we take old Continental they was just bare engine, with short stacks, same go for Jabirus. I know a guy that visit them when tested a Jab in the test cell. Newer Conti have some airfilter, and short stacks, I think! Then you lose power with density alt.

I noticed they are not symmetrical top to bottom. One end has a tighter bend. If you install them one direction, the top of the stick is more upright. If you install it the other direction the stick leans more aft. Any idea which way is correct??
