Vetterman 4-into-4 RV-8/IO-390 Exhaust...
      
      
      Dear Listers,
      
      I got the Vetterman 4-into-4 RV-8/IO-390 exhaust system installed last weekend.    It fit perfectly, and looks awesome too!  I've attached a few pictures on the installation.  (Digest Listers: Check the Forums interface for the pictures at http://forums.matronics.com/viewforum.php?f=4 )
      
      Here's my question.  How close should the pipes actually be to the bottom of the
      exhaust ramp?  The mounting system will allow me to push them up pretty close,
      but is that wise?  The installation instructions didn't really lend any guidance
      here.
      
      BTW, the IO-390 engine went on without a problem.  Here's some pictures:

      And here's some real-time shots from the MattCams:

      RV-8s have had a bit of a problem with cracks forming in the ramp.  I 
      don't know if Van made any changes in that area on the must current 
      fuselage design to address that or not, nor do I know which version of 
      the fuselage you have.
      
      I wouldn't put those pipes any closer to the ramp than you need to, 
      unless you have made changes to the ramp to greatly reduce the chance of 
      cracking.
