Me too. I also use the ss strap method. Works great (300+
hours) and since the hangars are edge-on to the slip stream, they are low drag
as well.

(still flying the spintech but have a Flowmaster
brand Hushmaster II on the way. It looks more aerodynamic
than the spintech but don't know if it will stay together.)

Hi
Rusty;
I used some 3/4" stainless steel banding. When I built
my own "SpinTech", I welded on mounting tabs at each end. I used 3/16" SS
"pop" rivets to fasten the banding to the muffler and to the fuselage
mounting points. It made a secure yet flexible mount (but not too flexible).
After 35 hours of engine running including 17.5 hours of flight (and a few
minutes of gliding :-), it still looks as it did when I installed it. I
checked it 2 nights ago when I was removing some panels for other
maint.
