Here is what I suggest Jerry.
The side exhaust will look cool. Just like a mini
Cessna Caravan with a PT6 :) Simple tangential muffler.
You can fab a square exhaust pipe if you wish.
Gives plenty of room under the engine for both rads.
Oil on the right side. Separate ducts.

Thanks Paul,   what about the tuned exhaust pipes.?  When I
originally had this type of muffler on my project, I was told it
would cost me about 20 hp.  Whatever we decide for the TW will also
apply to the RV6A .

Well we will see if a tuned tangential muffler will fit.
I think it can. Perhaps with 1.75 square wrap pipes and a 
4.5 inch round can. How wide is the cowl?
