Daryl,
I'd recommend you get a price for the pipes and sell the plane less the
price of the exhaust system.
Or put a set of straight pipes on it so the buyer can fly it home and
make a set himself.
Or look up crashed 601s in the FAA database and find one that has a set
of mufflers that are good.
Should be one out there somewhere.
Look up your EAA chapter and see if anyone would like to make you a
replacement.

I need some help.
I built a Zenair CH-601-HD kit back in 1993 /95.
It has Rotax 912 Engine with Zenair firewall-forward kit that included
engine mount, mufflers, etc.
The original left side muffler has recently failed in flight, breaking
at the front elbow.
It was made with regular carbon steel (not stainless), and appears
to have failed due to corrosion and vibration over the years.
I have attached a few photos for reference.
Zenith has been very slow / reluctant to respond to my RFQ so far,
other than to tell me they don't have the old muffler system in stock.
Even that took 1 month, 5 emails and 30 minutes trying to get thru on
the phone. Very frustrating, especially since I am also still trying
to sell my plane.
It is the old dual-muffler design that I need in order for it to fit
in the original cowling (I assume).
I think the newer models use single muffler (SS).
Any other possible sources for these custom parts?
Or other general advice?
Thanks in advance.
