<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'll see if they still exist. I still have
them on the old 60 stuff--can't seem to part with them--the port may be a bit
small for the larger engines. On the other hand, we were turning the
smaller stuff at many more revs--so theoretically pulling roughly the same
amount of air. Couldn't hurt to try--especially if they work. They
were only a few bucks. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Richard, you may be thinking of the Bru-Line filters. My local hobby shop
still carries these and they are very inexpensive. The sponge element
is better as an air filter/noise dampener than the 60 mesh screen that
the typical Tettra or similar filters use. They are not as pretty as the
aluminum housed "filters" but they are more effective overall for our
needs</DIV>

<BR><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> <BR><FONT face="Times New Roman"
