Eh? What you say?

What are the powerplants on these aircraft?

When my father was alive, one of the projects he worked on was noise 
attenuation for light aircraft (Cessna 172, Piper equivilent). It involved 
extending the exhaust quite a ways under the fuselage, and fabricating a 
muffler, which had a lot more engineering involved in the design than a car 
muffler. Alas, after mcuh work, it was deemed a wasted effort, as not 
sufficiently effective.

Good luck.
