POWER FLOW EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR CESSNA 172
Overview
| Bolt-on a Power Flow Tuned Exhaust System and give your Skyhawk that shot of extra “oomph” that you know it needs. See it, Hear it, Feel it, Try it. This boost of power will have you flying higher, faster, and on less fuel in no time, with only one side effect: a chronic & infectious ear-to-ear grin.
The Power Flow Tuned Exhaust System is not just a replacement – it is a vast improvement over the stock Cessna 172 exhaust system.
The concept is simple, out with the old exhaust gases, in with the new fuel-air charge. By more effectively emptying each cylinder of spent exhaust gases, Power Flow gives your Skyhawk a number of significant benefits. The Power Flow is a versatile, quality constructed, complete replacement of the entire exhaust system on your 172. A new Cabin and Carburetor Heat shroud (utilizing your current SCAT tube hook-ups) is included. The entire system is constructed from 321 stainless steel and includes minimal structural welds in the cabin heat section for improved safety. Classic vs. Short Stack: If you operate on floats, frequently fly in high density altitude environments, or simply want the best possible “Bang for the Buck”, select the Classic.
