Default Diverter for exhaust

Can someone tell me what I would need to divert my OS 1.60 so the exhaust can blow out from the bottom of the cowl? I have it inverted, but with a slimline pitts, it sticks out from the side and I dont want to cut the cowl that way. I want it to come out from the bottom.

I wasn't aware they made an inverted one for a 1.60. Thanks!

Mount the engine sideways and then the slimline pitts exhaust would exit out the bottom. What kind of plane is it going in.

It's a Pica 1/5th Mustang.

As you can see, it's designed only for an inverted engine

Try Slimline here,

http://www.slimlineproducts.com/onli...rted_pitts.htm

Looks like they list a pitts inverted muffler for the OS 1.60 about half way down the page. No picture though. Might email Slimline just to make sure it's what your looking for.

These people make mufflers that work and work good as well. And I think the one you need is only about $50.
