Re: [Titanaircraft] Re: HKS exhaust problems

If your carbs are facing forward the muffler will go in front of them.  Not a problem on my RANS.  Then I placed the oil cooler in front of the muffler at an angle, fairing everything.

That is on a plane that is always hangered. I am afraid that the HKS
system will not work on my application due the the placement of the
carbs. The muffler will have to go on top of the engine or under the
gearbox.

by sitting out in the weather for a long time. Any attempted repairs
would give you a temporary fix, at best. HKS offers at least 4 different
configurations of exhaust sytems, one of which I'm sure you could apply
to your setup. The HKS type II system is what I put on my S-14 which
places the muffler in front of the engine and I think you can buy it, or
any of them, for around $400. Jerry Olnick at Greensky Adventures would
be a good source for assistance.
