Do you have any paperwork for it? It's not really worth anything without
traceability.

Trim the straps back about 1 to 1 1/4 inches. Cut off the corner (about
half) on a 45 degree (on the outside). Then, turn down the end like a lip. Tie
the baffles up tight. All of them. The straps on #1 and #2 do not need to
be cut back.

Springs are OK if you put a 'pop' rivet in the baffle (with the head on the
inside), then punch out the mandrel,then hammer down the tail. If you really
smash it, drill it out with somethin in the 0.060 range. Otherwise, the
constant load on the spring will pull through the aluminum baffle. I like the
twisted Safety wire trick.

Does anyone have a really nice horizontal for sale? Or know of one? I
have a very good serviceable one to trade.

The safety wire will also pull through the baffle hole in time. 2 holes
drilled about 1/4" apart and threading the wire through both of them will
help. A rivet also works good with safety wire and you can even put a
cotter key through the hole, bend the ears and put the wire through the
cotter key.

Since there seemed to be a lot of interest in the short stack PF, thought I'd share
the first experience with N28745's short stack PF. Static RPM increased
125 RPM, with a similar increase takeoff/climb RPM. There is a very marked difference
in takeoff acceleration and climb performance. Engine is at TBO. Since
cruise RPM did not change, no noted difference in cruise performance at this
point - we don't have fuel flow instrumentation. The system is very well made
and designed, looks good, and was fairly straightforward to install. The
price is still painful, but I'm a satisfied customer after witnessing the performance
gain. Sorry this isn't more scientific, but I'll be happy to share pics
or field questions.
Regards,

That increase is about twice what has been reported before.
