Here's some info....(Lyc O320 160 HP, Sterba 69X75 prop) run # 1 with new X-over exhaust 2270 rpm ( readings are as best as I could tell on the steam gage tach) run # 2 with the Y pipe exhaust 2220 rpm run # 3 with new X-over exhaust 2280 rpm so it looks like about a 50 to 60 rpm gain on the avg on a static runup. Now on to making some heat shields for the alternator, starter, etc where those pipes come close to...
