  • “A rate-of-climb increase of about 20 percent is remarkable – not to mention the safety factor increase when leaving high-altitude airports or climbing through cloud layers.” Private Pilot Magazine, December 2000 (click to read)

  • “…boosts the Lycoming O-320’s output by at least 20HP, while simultaneously reducing fuel flow and lowering CHT’s. Geez, what a deal.” The Aviation Consumer, May 1999

Customer Reviews on the Power Flow AA5 (O-360) Tuned Exhaust System:

  • I was so happy that the claims made by you guys were spot on. I have always had the throttle firewalled in the past with similar conditions of temperature and up on max weight but to be at 10,000 ft plus and be pulling throttle back was very unusual and the climb performance was just sensational. The exhaust is worth every cent and I am extremely happy with it and would like to thank you guys for manufacturing a product that does what you say it will, that, these days is extremely rare. Well done.

Craig Flanagan - Gateshead, Australia AA5B (0-360)

  • I climbed to 17,550 feet (19,650 foot density altitude). Pretty good for a 26 year old engine.

Mark Stolzberg - Stony Brook, NY Grumman AA5B Tiger (O-360)

  • The climb improved by 200fpm, overall speed by about 5 miles per hour.

Steve Cummings - Lawrence, KS Grumman Tiger (AG-5B)

  • I like the looks of the exhaust- not as long or low as expected. I knew it had more kick and go especially on take off. On 5/22/02 flew to Tiffin Aire Inc, Ohio and had my Sensenich propeller repitched from 63" to 65" specs cruise and static balance. I can still red line (RPM's) with the cruise prop. My temp gauge is just a little cooler as prior to the tuned exhaust. I am getting better fuel burn, 1 gal or so per hour.
