I'll be using the stock mount initially, as the ST2300 is pretty low on vibration to begin with. Have to widen the space between the hardwood bearers, but not very much. I'll also do pics and mod info on my website. The KS Canister muffler I have will mount on the wing, but probably stay attached to the coupler (mine are pretty flexible silicone, and I think they'll hold up).
Also installing taller landing gear, as the stock gear will not permit a 17" prop to turn....or....I may do a 15.5" three blader.... I've come to like them a lot for the dynamic braking, and reduced rudder corrections needed.
It's all an experiment, and doing my "McGyver" thing....
