REFLECTOR:Exhuast systems

[Scott Derrick]

I just got off the phone with Brendan at the factory and he certainly 
makes the forward facing system sound like a good choice. No exhaust 
stains on the prop...

But the Custom Aircraft system is so well designed with each port a 
spring captured slip joint..  One year warrantee...

Decisions decisions..
