   I am using the XP360 in my 360, although I am still some time away from flying. The Lancair baffle kit and standard cowling work fine with the engine. However, if you choose to use the "lightweight sump," as I did, be aware that the Lancair exhaust won't fit because the sump is too low. I wanted the sump because of its forward facing induction, but after finding the exhaust wouldn't fit I seriously considered returning it and shopping around for one that could be modified. When I called Lycon to get information on the mod I learned that they don't do that any more, at least they referred me to another company -- in Bend, I believe. I finally bit the bullet and built a custom exhaust that runs between the sump and the intake pipes (no room between the intake pipes and cowl). It looks great and should work fine, but certainly was a lot more trouble and expense than just bolting on the stock exhaust.

things like the engine baffling kit that Lancair sells and the cowling.
Will these fit or are there major modifications necessary to make it
work? Any other pro-cons of this engine versus a new Lycoming will also
be appreciated.<<
