Hi,



I canÂ´t find the handwritten exhaust installation plans from Vetterman. Could someone please post them as pdf? I installed them from what I remember seeing but I canÂ´t get them fit close enough to the belly and to the gear to not inter fear with the bottom cowling. Installation pictures are welcome as well.

Thanks

Michael

You will need to cut a half moon shape out in lower cowl to provide 1/2" clearance. No more than that is needed due to large amount of cooling air at high power settings.

I did not need to cut the lower cowl to get clearance, but it did take a fair amount of fiddling with the exhaust hangers to get it right. I would not cut the cowl except as a last resort.

I agree Jim,



could someone please send me a scan of the plan though because the way I did mount it, it doesÂ´t really fit.

I trimmed my cowl per plans and there is plenty of clearance for the pipes.

Have you seen these revisions? Mine worked just about like the prototype in

these pictures, no cutting on anything but a fair amount of jockeying around

and bending of the support strap to pull the exhaust up higher and keep it

there such that the clearance to the bottom edge of the firewall is close

but ok.

Thanks Chris,

This is exactly what I needed!

It looks as if I'll have to cut back my breather tube a bit as it is in the way of the exhaust pipe.

Regards

Michael

No worries if you didnt cut it back. It will cut itself back on its own on the stainless pipe in due time. Ask me how i know, as Deems would say!

do not archive

Ok the right right muffler is mounted an it worked out perfectly.



However the left one doesn't work at all because the metal muffler bracing either is not wide enough when bent to achieve the necessary height to keep the exhaust pipe up.  Or it interferes with the heating duct. 



Not sure if I am the only one with this issue and what is wrong.



Any ideas anyone.



Regards

Mike

Yep - same problem with my left side.



I ended up cutting the lower hanger bolt (the one on the end of the cable) and snugging up the brackets such that I had the shortest overall length between the bent hanger and the exhaust attach point.  Cutting the lower bolt is needed as the end hits the exhaust attach point long before you run out of threads.  I also mounted the bent hanger as high as possible.  Combined these solved the problem.
