Default Four stroke muffler and cowl

How do you get the exhaust screwed onto the engine with the cowl on? I have been thinking about it and I just can't see it.

I have come up with the following possibilities.

1/ Make the hole big enough so that you can slide the cowl over the muffler.
2/ Make a gap so that you can get a wrench in.


I don't like either of them.

Any help?!

I feel your pain! It's a big bummer to cut holes in a beautiful cowl. At least 4-stroke mufflers are usually smaller than 2-stroke. In addition to your stated options, you can investigate other exhaust pipes/headers and mufflers to try to direct the exhaust to the most desireable exit point (like at the bottom of the cowl). Many manufacturers make flexible pipes and small in-cowl mufflers. You'll just have to search around on sites like Tower Hobbies or Horizon Hobbies. Good luck!

You can also install the muffler AFTER you put the cowl on.
