I got to test my dual exaust last night. Did not really make any more noise than with one exaust 
outlet. Still sounds so cool at least that is what the guys in the hanger say . The most interesting
thing is that my take off roll was more  but my climb out was  much better.
I think I increased my roll out by  2-300 ft  and gained 200 fpm climb. Cooling I think is better because of less 
exaust pipe under the cowling and I added another outlet to the cowling. I am going to try more outlets
to see if I can get the cooling even better. I have heard of removing the thermostat to help in cooling and 
I might try that also. 
  I got her up to 175 knots for a short blast, that’s  fastest I have gone yet no flutter but man is the stick
sensitive at that speed.
