REFLECTOR: Exhaust systems

[Wayne Lanza]

Hi Guys,
  Please note that the aircraft shown in the photos at the web site 
mentioned below
is a standard body Elite NOT an XL. Looking at the last photo you will 
also see that
this exhaust system will require a substantial blister (bulge) to fair 
in the pipes. I'd
suspect that an installation on an XL would also require some fairing 
work...

Fly Safe,
