I made a mounting bracket and welded it to the top cross tube on the engine mount. Yes, I agree the old school says to keep the drain lower than the carb but on the TW that would put it outside the cowl. I will put a drain tube on the bottom and it will drain farther from the exhaust, near the left gear.

Do you happen to have a picture you could post showing it in more detail? Is it a crossover or four individual tailpipes? Thanks.

The two front cylinders go into the front pipe and the two rear go into the pipe that is closest to the oil pan. They are made from mild steel tubing and ceramic coated by a place in Phoenix. A sprint car header set for a Chevy V8 from Speedway Motors, part # 418-65600 $94.95 [old price] or you can use the assorted bends, part # 910-13817. The Chevy set will make two exhaust systems if you are careful. Jim C ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 08:01:12 PM PST US From: "Larry H." Subject: Re: Tailwind-List: Exhaust --> Tailwind-List message posted by: "Larry H." Hi Jim, Your plane and your engine installation looks fantastic ! I am wondering about the coating on the outside of the exhaust pipes. Is the ceramic on the inside or outside or both? They look like they are chrome plated on the outside. What is going on with that? Larry Howell ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Clement" <168x@merr.com> Subject: Tailwind-List: Exhaust > Jim, Here is a few exhaust pics.

Subject: Re: Tailwind-List: Exhaust --> Tailwind-List message posted by: "Larry H." I guess I am confused on the ceramic coating, I just assumed that it was white in color !

It pretty much stays the same after running the engine. Cost was about $140.00 for the complete exhaust system. Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry H."

Subject: Re: Tailwind-List: Exhaust --> Tailwind-List message posted by: "Larry H." Thanks Jim, I have another question, does the ceramic coated mild steel last as long as stainless steel exhaust pipes or does it last longer? I am surprised at the color because I thought that the ceramic coating was white. Where did the chrome looking ceramic come from or was it always available?

It is available in several colors. White, silver [chrome] blue and black, maybe more. Max temp varies by color with white and silver being best. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry H."

Subject: Re: Tailwind-List: Exhaust --> Tailwind-List message posted by: "Larry H." Thanks Jim, Again, the plane looks great. Unless I have missed them, I have not heard a flying report for your new one yet. Have you flown it? Any difference in it and your others?
