Default Cheaper tows?

Another 400HP.

I remember that Fletchers use to have a large diameter stubby tube
pointing out and back from the rear of the cowl on both sides - must have
been around 25cm diameter maybe 30cm long. It ejected both exhaust and
cooling air, but the 400hp versions seem to be on straight stubs and with
just a flaired rear edge if the cowl for cooling air exit. Was the
tubular thing I remember only fitted to the 250hp aircraft?
