Just wanted to thank everyone who contributed to getting this 13b running. I
have the stock cast iron exhaust manifold with a short pipe to clear the
cowling, and I'm pleased that it was not as loud as I had expected.  I guess
the cast iron absorbs some  of the engine pulses.  It certaintly absorbs the
heat. For those that noticed the missing heat shields....not to worry, they
will be installed.  I have only ran it for a few minutes at a time, so I can
set up my MicroTech ECU and also to purge any air from the coolant system,
but it sure runs smooth.  Glad I went with a rotary.  Thanks again for
everyone who answered all my questions....even the dumb questions.
sincerely,  Paul Conner
