I read in the archives some 582 drivers added a small extension to the exhaust pipe. Any comments?
How did you seal around bungees?

My 582 model 2 appears to have an exhaust extension, there is an obvious weld near the cowling. The pipe looks like and auto exhaust with a J bend at the bottom, and it extends a good 10" down, back, and away from the cowling; you can just see it in the attached picture.
I have never had any exhaust smell in the cabin and have a CO2 monitor that I change as prescribed, never a hint of discoloration. In fact the only problem I have is discoloration of the lower gear strut fairings from the exhaust, but that wipes off easily enough. The bungee hole is big enough to slip a hand through and in fact I recently added window vents to add more ventilation, the scoop kind that can be closed.
The configuration works very well, more details or better pix if anyone wants.
