<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I was under the impression that the real cause of excessive noise was prop (rpm & diameter). The actual engine noise and exhaust setup (by todays typical standard) was not the significant cause of noise - the prop is the culprit. <br>

<br><font size=2 face="Arial">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>
