Power flow exhaust?

So I’ve had my new exhaust in my 201 for two weeks. Only had the chance to fly it twice. Aside from running all the numbers, which I haven’t had a chance to do yet, anyone notice a seat of your pants difference? Did it snap your neck off when you excellerated down the runway? Lose consciousness with a vertical take off ? Just thinking out loud.

PowerFlow claims what, a 10-15% improvement? I was told one time that you won’t really “feel” anything less than a 10% difference. 

I could feel the difference when I put the PowerFlow system on my 201. My take-off performance was noticeably better.

One piece of advice. PowerFlow says you should have the system taken apart and anti-seize applied to the joints at every annual. DO IT! Last annual one of my joints was completely seized. The IA had to use a torch to get it apart. If I would have kept flying it like that I’m sure something would have cracked somewhere.
