Here are just a few examples of what your direct List support enables... It provides for the expensive, business-class, high-speed Internet connection used on the List, insuring maximum performance and minimal contention when accessing List services. It pays for the regular system hardware and software upgrades enabling the highest performance possible for services such as the Archive Search Engine and List Browser. It pays for 15+ years worth of on line archive data available for instant random access. And, it offsets the many hours spent writing, developing, and maintaining the custom applications that power this List Service such as the List Browse, Search Engine, and Photoshare. But most importantly, your List Contribution enables a forum where you and your peers can communicate freely in an environment that is free from moderation, censorship, advertising, commercialism, SPAM, and computer viruses. How many places on the Internet can you make all those statements about these days? I will venture to say - next to none... It is YOUR CONTRIBUTION that directly enables these many desirable aspects of this most valuable List service. Please support it today with your List Contribution. Its the best investment you can make in your Sport - BAR NONE! Email List Contribution Web Site: http://www.matronics.com/contribution Thank you for your support!

It will create more problems than it is worth. The added weight on the rest of the system will most likely cause cracks plus add to the overall weight of the airplane. You will get the same results by exiting the exhaust from the cowl at 30-45 degrees and putting insulation in the floor. Also using 1/4" luan plywood for the floor helps. Most of the noise in a TW is wind noise from the root rib area and windshield. I have been using 3/16" plex for windshields lately and it might help some but am during it mostly for bird strikes.
