Yep, that D panel at the back of the cockpit along with its bulk head sure
sounds
like a brazilian festival drum... that got attended to not that long ago by
fitting a 1/4" ply brace for the luggage ties to the reverse face of bulkhead;
made a noticeable difference.
181 has a CTK exhaust fitted and i find its performance quite acceptable; DCI
SheetHot
5000 had to be fitted to the lower cowl as it was burning and getting
pretty close to igniting. The footwell area does not get that warm.
I have been receiving some pm's regarding the air box mod; its turning out a

the box itself is not being modified; just my thoughts here not recommendations
to depart from any regulations, especially any fire risk prevention regulations.
