Paul,

Here are some pics of the proposed  headers.  I am thinking about cutting
out
part of the vertical   tube that causes the double 45 degree tubes to be
used
to go around  it.  The system needs tweaking like adding slip joints and
designing  brackets to support the headers.  Appreciate any input.

That is about where you should start your ejector  outer tube
cooling air input bell mouth. Also you need to put a tapered  nozzle on
the ends of the exhaust pipe.

Joe,

Looks interesting.

I have two concerns:

1. The proximity between the pipe and the engine mount seems, from your
photo, rather small and since that pipe will be operating at a very high
temperature, it will probably severely weaken and  corrode your engine  mount at
the crossing.

2. unless the engine mount, in the picture is merely a trial and  will be
replaced or repaired, the corrosion that is evident on it is of  great
concern to me. If it were mine, I would consider it un airworthy in  that
condition. Perhaps an A&P might chime in here and possibly prevent you  from
becoming a statistic. If you have been flying with that mount, how did it  become
so corroded???

Just want you safe

Rhino or some other 3D program is very helpful in discovering these
problems before you build the motor mount.
