Crazy question but is there any reason why the cylinder couldn't/shouldn't be rotated 90* to relocate the exhaust outlet to the front or rear? I've been offered an ESM Stuka in winter camo for aridiculous price and the DLE20 is my engine of choice. I'd like to fab scale exhaust because the cowl is so narrow there isn't room for any available exhausts without hacking the cowl which obviously detracts from the scaleappearance. My thought is to have the exhaust exit to the rear into a canister like the pitts and then an outlet on each side going to the scale exhaust tubes and I'll probobly start with the profile exhaust the VVRC offers.<div>

Custom exhaust is the way to go.
Just Engines made up a header for me that fits inside the narrow cowl of a TWM SPot On Pattern Plane. I have 1.5mm clearance between inner wall of the cowl and the bolt holding the header in place. It then bends backward and up to meet the centre line of teh fuselage and the tunnel.
If you send them a picture of the engine installation and perhaps apply some dimensions to the picture they should be able to make up a header and a can that will fit. Then its just a matter of routing the scale outlets forward to meet the outlets on the cowl.
All possible with a bitof patience, a decent dialogue and creativity. DOn't give up!!
