Gary,
Always trying for the best of both worlds, is anyone except me following the
development of the RV exhaust system by www.powerflowsystems.com ? There
are a couple around here and everyone says they really add power and save
fuel. A 150 hp Cherokee owner here (OVO) says he saves over a gallon per
hour and has had to change props. His climbouts are great and he says he
added over ten knots with the new prop. Of course, that is compared to a
Piper exhaust, and I have no idea how it would compare to one from Van's.

Funny, some of us with auto engines think
Lycoming powerplants devalue the aircraft. :-)
Value, among other things, is in the eye of the beholder.

You mean...
Always "flying" the best of both worlds...
"Resale" was not high on my list of priorities when building the finest
aircraft I was capable of. If anyone can honestly evaluate my Subaru
installation and tell me my aircraft has poor resale value, then I just
won't sell it to them. ;
) Much of this is just making mirth out of myth.
Competitive powerplants have always carried this stigma. Yet we will soon
have over 300 RV's flying with this excellent powerplant. Different
strokes for different folks. Choice is good.

Gary:
Have any Subie powered RV's come up for sale of late so we can get an idea
what the "fair market value" of a Subie equipped RV really is? If not with so
many that have been sold it's just a matter of time before we start seeing
them show up on Barnstormers etc. and can get an idea what pilots are really
offering for them...
I am still going the Mazda 13B route and don't expect to command the same $$
value for mine (should I choose to sell it someday) as a Lycoming or
Subie...but then again I believe should have less than $12K in the firewall forward
(including a fixed pitch prop) when it's ready to fly.
