The Power Flow Tuned System is available in two basic configurations for the Skyhawk: The original “Classic” (Long Tailpipe) version and the newer “Short Stack”. The Classic version does give the biggest performance boost, but the difference is usually only noticeable if the aircraft is on floats or is routinely operated in high density altitude environments (8,500' msl and above). The Short Stack system provides 90% - 95% of the performance increase that is possible with the Classic system with a more attractive installed appearance.
