Custom exhaust systems-
Single Side Stacks
Single Side Stacks
When we refer to single side stacks we are
talking about a stack that collects all exhaust off from one side
of the engine and out of the engine through the shortest exit route
and does not use a collector.
This
style of exhaust is the most economical of the styles of exhaust.
The stacks are louder then the collector style system and do not
have the HP increase that the collector system has. This system
does create more HP than a single muffler style system. If a low
Db is required than this type of system can have a muffler added
to it in order to reduce Db’s. Some cowlings are very tight
and don’t allow two single mufflers to be installed, at that
time we would have to look at a different system that has a lower
Db and is compact enough to fit into the tight cowled configuration.
With single side stacks we start the same
as all the other styles of systems, a mock up kit. With this style
you would only need mock up risers for the PVC size that is dictated
by the engine manufacturer and a set of kit instructions.
The length of the primary or tailpipe is not
of any concern. The length does not translate into HP neither short
nor long because this system does not have equal length headers
into a common collector.

The system is made from stainless steel mandrel
bent tubing which has much higher temperature operating range than
mild steel; it also has a longer life in terms of cycles of heating
and cooling.
Stainless steel is the same material as most
certified aircraft manufacturers choose to use for the same reasons
listed above. The price of these systems are
not a set price as they depend on make and model of engine, amount
of bends used, 4 or 6 cylinders, complexity of the stack, how far
back it goes before exiting, and amount of support it will need.
Once you place an order for a PVC mock up kit
and the PVC sample is returned to us, we then can give you a quote
on the cost of the project.
