What's your exhaust doing under the engine? Heating the oil?

Couldn't find any photo of my current exhaust. It's the shortest path from ports into a collector and down the left side.

You could always try two straight stacks out the side of the cowling - since you like fiberglass work so much :)

Here's my current mounting. Had to change it a bit when switching to the
RWS PSRU.

Thanks for the pics Finn.  Where the heck is your exhaust?  Unfortunately, my exhaust comes around, under the engine, then back, and won't easily allow that long cooler to run down the middle.  I "might" be able to put it in at an angle, but then it will be only a couple inches from the exhaust pipes.  I'd like to avoid that for obvious reasons. 
 
I looked at Tracy's site last night, and can't see how he has room for his cooler to be in the right cheek area, behind the evap core.  I have to believe his engine is farther from the firewall than mine, because there's absolutely no way a stock 2nd gen cooler will fit in that location on mine. 
 
Cheers,
Rusty  (still in search of cooler)
