Makes me feel pretty good about the approx $200 I have invested in my

321

stainless exhaust system. These are built kinda like a "glass pack"

without

the fiberglass. Total exhaust system weight is about 10.5 pounds (5 of

that

is the RB flange). May still add some bracing but I think I will try it

as

is at least through the taxi testing phase.

yeah; if they work well, have them made with inconel when you replace them.

BTW The Prat & Whitney surplus store in Hartford Conn. had a 4 X 8 foot  sheet of
0.050 inch thick Inconel (I think it was Inconel). The manager said they get 
surplus sheet metal from time to time. Does anybody live near Hartford?
