I periodically check the NTSB data base for FX-3 accidents. The total is now up to 13 with probably less than 130 in service. Does not look good for insurability. One recent accident report is really strange. A different exhaust system had been fitted and it disintegrated on the first test flight. Engine lost power and aircraft was substantially damaged in off airport landing. - NTSB WPR21LA250
Couple of questions:
1. What would be gained by replacing the factory standard 4 into 1 system? Quieter, more power, something else?
2. Report says new exhaust was titanium header and aluminum muffler. Accident flight photo seem to show an extended tail pipe. Anyone know what exhaust this was?
