REFLECTOR: Exhaust question

[Keith Hallsten]

Brent,

I'm not flying yet, but I concluded that would be the best.  I had Custom
Aircraft Parts (Clint Anderson) make a pair of stainless 3-into-1 collectors
for my parallel-valve IO-540 with a slip joint on the center pipe and a
45-degree bend aft just as the exhaust comes through the cowling.  He had
already made another set (but without the 45-degree bend) for another
Velocity builder, so he had the drawings ready to e-mail to me about 20
minutes after I described to him what I wanted.  The completed "headers"
showed up by UPS about a week later.  Beautiful work; highly recommended.

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
