Tom,
If using a DA85 how would you route the one pipe and where would the exhaust tip come out. Do you have any pictures of your prototype that you had the DA85 on.

Also, with the DA85 does the cowl have to be cut to get proper clearance.

Thanks.
The one pipe goes right down the middle. If you have a rear exit canister you turn the muffler a little and it exits in ethe rear corner. With front exhaust it comes out,... wait for it..., in front! You have to cut the cowl to make an exit.

I must apologize, I failed to take a photo of the first one with a DA-85. In factr I don't have any photos of any plane with the DA-85, I will correct this asap.

The cowl does not need to be cut except to clear the cylinder head and to allow cooling air over the head fins.
