An experienced A&P (Australian equivalent anyway) saw a picture of my engine installation on another forum and made the following comment:
"... the way the exhaust pipe outlet hangs off the end of the exhaust 'can', will cause it to crack the can badly ( trust me,...been there, done that !) ...solution:....weld a 1" steel strip from the exit pipe to the little bit of steel by where the front pipe goes into the top of the can.........end of problem."
I can see what he's getting at, and was wondering if anyone has experienced any problems in this area, such as cracking in the welded joint where the exhaust pipe connects to the muffler?
