Nicrocraft C172Q, R/S Exhaust Risers Now Available

Parts Catalog Swells to 230 Amid Additional FAA-PMA Approvals

Owners and operators of the Cessna 172Q, 172R, and 172S have a new option ready for their aircraft's exhaust systems, now that Nicrocraft has received FAA-PMA certification for its exhaust risers. Made from heat resistant 321 stainless steel, Nicrocraft backs each one of their parts with a 12-month, unlimited hour warranty that starts from date of installation, the same policy as the rest of their products. The risers are made for installation on Lycoming O-360 and IO-360 engines. Now, the entire exhaust system, including the fore and aft risers, can be replaced with options for long and short overboard mufflers.
