Default Tailpipe length

Does anyone know the correct length for the tailpipe. I just purchased a new pipe from Skymaster for my K210 and it does not look long enough.

I have the turbine mounted all the way back to the former and it is as far back as it will go on the engine mounts. With a 25 mm distance from turbine to pipe the rear of pipe ends about 4” inches from the tear of the tailcone on the jet.

I know this can’t be correct. If anyone knows the actual length of the pipe (without the bell mouth) I would appreciate the help. The f16 is a G2 version.

Thanks, Gary
