The Design: This header has been a long time in the making. Following what we learned with over 400 hours on the Apex, we replicated those features into the 3 Cylinder Nytro Header. Individual Exhaust Flanges are CRITICAL!!! Myself and others have seen flanges crack even being individual. Therefore we added a Spring Loaded Collector to completely isolate each tube and allow it to flex and expand/contract with heat cycles. Additionally, to handle any misalignments with the remainder of the exhaust system we added a Ball Swivel. The O2 bung is located on the exit of the Ball Swivel allowing the customer to align the bolts and/or the O2 bung in any orientation for possible clearance issues. The main tubes are all equal length. We have found that the Nytro works well with 1.50in tubes and be in the 22-24in overall length using 304 Stainless.
Fitment: Much attention has been given to make this design fit as many airframes as possible. The tubes were pushed forward, but not too far, keeping equal length and up near Skytrax gearbox. This allowed the collector to be pushed up as well. This “may” allow some airframes to incorporate a muffler under the cowling. This header should also fit some small / tighter / sleeker / faster cowled airframes as its about as small and tight of a design as possible. Off course we have 3D CAD test fit it as well actually test fit it on the common Kitfox-4, Kitfox-5-7, Rans S6, Rans S7/S7s, Zenith 701, Highlander, etc.
