REFLECTOR: Exhaust systems

[KeithHallsten]

Pat,
I'm in serious discussion with Clinton Anderson at Custom Aircraft Parts
about a couple of "Y" manifolds for my XL with a parallel-valve IO-540.
Very similar to yours, except I'm thinking of having the 2.5" tailpipes bent
45 degrees towards the prop.  I assume that you're still happy with yours?
