Al and Greg,

Thanks for your replys on this subject. I realize the manifold would be too heavy but I was hoping I could widdle it down some how. Greg, I would be interested in your suggestion for doing that. I'm putting this 20B in a BD-4.

Al, you don't want the stock exhaust. Get one built. If you want to know one way it's done, let me know.

Does anyone on this list have a 20B exhaust manifold that came with their engine that I could buy?

No; but I do know the thing is massively heavy. I looked at one when I got my engine, and decided quickly it was not very interesting for an aircraft. Maybe if radically modified . . . Just my opinion.
