Maybe I misunderstood your description, but the  exhaust must extend outside of the cowling depending on which exhaust you have.   As you can see on mine,
I have four-into-one custom exhaust that exits much like the exhaust on a turbine.

I have two repairs to do to my bird.

First, while I was on a trip this week, I was forced to tie my plane outside. There was a large storm with high winds that came through and blew my right rudder so that the bell crank  is now loose. What is the best way to repair this?

Second, I am getting severe bubbling on my lower cowl, around the exhaust tube. I am running a straight pipe out both right and left side. The end of my pipe is about 1” inside the cowl. There is a metal heat shield applied to the cowl with high temp silicone. Do your pipes extend out of the cowl and how much clearance around the pipes do you have? If you have any pictures I would love to see them.

Thanks for any advice you may have.
