Narrative:
After air carrier flight xyz/xa ccs-mia landed I discovered that aircraft ZZZ had been modified with wvzx heavy weight hush kit. I could not find any information on the effects of a wvzx heavy weight hush kit with respect to aircraft performance and MEL. The remarks on the release for MEL items refers you to B727 operating manual. Kit refers one to pink bulletin wvzx heavy weight hush kit that I was unable to find.
