^^ I don't suppose either of you have a Leise (sic) fitted? Just interested in a rough assesment of how the exhaust sounded after fit?^^

Sure.
On the ground, at low RPMs, doesn't seem to reduce the noise particularly.
You'll notice the difference when the aircraft is airborne and the RPMs are up. Quite a reduction in the sound.

Main thing too is it apparently doesn't affect the performance one jot.

..............and even quieter with a four blade prop !
