The FAA has granted a PMA to Aerospace Welding Minneapolis, Inc. (AWI) to manufacture and sell new replacement mufflers, shrouds, exhaust risers, and tailpipes for the Cessna 150 fleet.
Parts include a left hand muffler, right hand muffler, 2.5″ straight exhaust riser, left hand curved exhaust riser, left hand tailpipe, right hand tailpipe, left hand shroud with two 2″ ports, a right hand shroud, and a left hand shroud with one 3″ port and one 2″ port.
All components in the replacement systems are made with 321 stainless steel. Cessna 150 owners can order specific parts or complete systems. A full replacement kit would take an A&P mechanic about an hour to install, according to company officials.
Dudes! The muffler photos are upside down! (Unless these components are only for inverted flight, which I somehow doubt.)
Alternate explanation – the mufflers on my 150, which I’ve owned since 1982, have been upside down all these years and I’ve never noticed until I compared them to these photos.
Seriously, always glad to see another supplier interested in making parts to keep our older treasured aircraft flying. Want to make some battery boxes?
Best Regards
