Its not thin at all.  It is 16 gauge 321 stainless, 2.5 inch diameter.  That is why it took me so long to accept the fact that it was drifting.  I just kept trimming the stainless plate on the cowl.

Last night I installed some springs to apply a counter force forward, then I went flying (looking for any excuse).  After just 45 min of flying the exhaust forward about 2 mm.  Once the exhaust is centered again I will adjust the tension on the springs to just counter balance the force of the slip stream. 
 
Amazing.  Never would have imagined that.  Is it really thin wall tubing?  Is it mild steel, or stainless?
