Hi Gary,
I forwarded this from the grumman gang. I thought this line quite comical:
"I will not try to estimate any time frame or cost at this time but the
project is actually well underway as it sits."

Hi Ned,
I am installing a Power Flow Exhaust on a TIger and I've had a lot of time to look at the current AG5B engine compartment. The airbox isn't the only change that would be required. The oil pressure sending unit would need to be moved to get the oil pressure line out of the way. The fuel line into the engine compartment has a 45 degree bulkhead fitting; a 90 degree fitting would be required. The engine primer is also in the way and would need to be moved. With an airbox, and all the above changes, it could be done on an AG5B.
The only other alternative would be modifying the air inlet and build a custom airbox to take advantage of a better inlet; quite possibly an inlet near the front of #2 cylinder.
Gary
