(Click image for a larger view) | The material used on this System is 1-3/4" O.D. x .035 wall
321 stainless steel. This system is designed for use with Lycoming engines up to 180 H.P. Bending is performed using an inside mandrel which the tube is drawn over during bending to maintain the inside diameter. Flanges are made from 1/4" Stainless Steel. This heavy material greatly reduces warping and cracking. Tail pipes are fitted with a stainless steel spring-type swivel ball joint. This flexible
joint not only allows for easy alignment of the tail pipes through the opening in the bottom cowling; but most important, this joint allows the engine and tail pipes to move independently, and greatly reduces the chance of cracking. One heat muff has been provided on the front cross-tube. This muff is intended for carburetor heat. If an injection system is being used, this muff can be used for cabin heat. An optional cabin heat muff can be ordered when carburetor
heat requires the use of the standard heat muff. All hardware is provided to install the system. Stainless steel nuts, bolts, washers, blow-proof exhaust gaskets, two stainless clamps for attaching tail pipes to the firewall or engine mount. Building brackets and positioning mixture and throttle cables is always a hassle. A bracket which simply bolts to the engine case and positions the cables in front of the mixture and throttle arms for easy attachment is available as an option. A U-type clamp attaches cable housing securely in place. |
