<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When we first started trying to quiet things down,
one of the areas we looked at was intake noise. We used to use a stretch
on filter housing with small filter disks that helped the noise problems with
the added benefit of keeping crap out of the engine--gee, what a concept.
Are there any such animals available now? We fly off an old asphalt runway
and there is the possibility something significant was sucked into a brand new
170 and destroyed the piston, sleeve, ring and bearing. First time for
everything, I guess. The 60 sized ones did not seem to affect
performance.</FONT></DIV>
