Also a good reason to ceramic coat inside & out: cowl and exhaust lasts much longer, keeps heat from radiating inside cowl, which also means inducation tubes run cooler, which means you go faster.

A Velocity owner in Spain decided to route exhaust through the wing.  Aircraft burned up during flight.  Pilot did not make it.

Yes, I remember seeing that too at Oshkosh.  The builder had created a channel through the wing for the exhaust.  I can't remember if it was two or one pipes - but I do remember thinking... Jeez, do I really want that hot exhaust gas going through my wing???  What happens if that long (Long!) pipe breaks???  Just sayin'....
