Got 90 degree mandrel bent 1 1/2" mild steel exhaust pipe pieces for mine
for $16 from JC Whitney. Just cut the angles you need, very easy welding.

Good to know Rick! Jim Boyer and I have bought some U-bend mandrels from
www.magnumforce.com <http://www.magnumforce.com/> .... A little more
expensive.

I bought a 6" channel piece from metalsupermarket,
measured and drilled bolt holes from a cardboard
template taken directly from the engine. I made up the
front tube assembly with a long enough tube to go as
far back as I wanted the exhaust to go with the straight
part parallel to the flange.Then I fit the rear tube to that
and it's flange. This part is really picky!
Once that was fitted I marked all around that joint and
cut out the straight tube to fit. Fiddled with this quite
a bit too. This was spot welded then checked for fit on
the engine. Once good and back on the jig it was fully
welded. My welding is structuraly sound but not all
that pretty so I filed and ground it till it was. It appears
that wasn't such a great idea. :-) It looks real nice in the

Oh yes, make sure your horizontal piping is parallel to
the plane, not the engine if the engine is angled down
at all.

Clif,
I like the look of your exhaust pipes. Did you make your own or did you
buy them from somewhere? Mine are starting to rust through, so I'll
need new ones real soon...
Thanks,
Dan
