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.

Hey Matt, I don't have any experience (yet) with this model....I was building the RV- 10 and got to this point before selling.=C2- Vetterman makes a great syst em.=C2- This with the 390 oughta sound sweet and perform great!=C2- The 10 had concerns with the "hot tunnel" that I don't imagine exisits with=C2 -8's open floor.=C2- They general concern there was touching the tunnel with your legs and possible heat related issues with the fuel system insid e.=C2- If your routing avoids the fuel system by enough...I think it will be fine.=C2- Of course, watch the bottom cowl and use heat protection. =C2- Leave enough room between the exhaust and the fuselage for movement in vibration. Looks very nice! BTW....this post was sent to me on the rv7-list.
