I used a US company called Aircraft Exhaust for my lycoming 360. They sen d stubby stacks to bolt to the exhaust ports and a collector for the end and you make a mock up with PVC pipe. You send them the mock up and they fabri cate it. With the straight six I would make two 3 to 1 manifolds which woul d be identical if possible. My exhaust in ceramic coated on the outside, but the now everyone coats insi de and out. Ceramic coating helps keep the heat in the exhaust and not unde r the cowl. There are some pictures of my exhaust on bobs website.

An internet search turns up a few sho ps that make stainless steel exhaust manifolds. Are exhaust manifolds normal ly stainless or mild steel? What advantage is there in a stainless steel exh aust manifold over mild steel other than longevity? > > Thanks > > Mike > > ========================== ========= ========================== ========= ========================== ========= ========================== ========= > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kis-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/KIS-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kis-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kis-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
