The acquisition doubles Power Flow Systems’ offerings, with Power Flow now offering exhaust systems for Cessna 180, 182, and 185 airplanes and all Cessna 205 through 210 models with Continental six-cylinder engines. The integrated company will also begin servicing Piper Super Cubs and Super Cruisers, according to an announcement by Power Flow’s president, Darren Tilman.

The acquisition and the relocation of Leading Edge Exhaust Systems’ tooling and inventory to Florida followed the death in December 2017 of Dane Wagner, the company’s founder.
