REFLECTOR: Exhaust question

[RBrim]

Brent,
I worked with them in all 3 positions.  In my experience:
1. Forward is the most crack prone, no exhaust on the prop
2. At the rear definitely heats up  the prop and leaves exhaust,
3. Straight down (plus I added a 45 degree bend on the tip, leaves no
exhaust, and seems to generate very little momentum for cracks - that's what
I'm running currently.

Rodney Brim,

Has anyone put straight down exhaust pipes on a Velocity? My measurments
show that they would be 8 inches or less if cut just outside the cowl.
Would this be better than the forward pipes or the rear pointing ones
getting soot on the prop?

Just looking for pros and cons 

Thanks
Brent
