I purchased a 90 degree stainless bend from spruce and cut it on a 45 deg angle and made two turn downs and had my trusty welder friend weld them to the tails of my pipes. They look really nice and there has been little detectable engine noise in the cockpit since. Some of the noise reduction may me due to the fact that the engine has not been run yet.... Other have said it improves noise though. Randy L. Snarr 235/320 Salt Lake City, Ut. >>>I've got about 20 hours on my 320 now and soot on the belly is a big problem. I wash it all off and within 2-3 hours the belly is a dry, sooty mess. I have the stock exhaust with tailpipes exiting the cowl pointing almost nearly straight back (maybe 10deg down). What have you all found to be a good solution for exhaust turn-downs? Did you have your tailpipes bent? Clamp-on turn-downs? Welded on?<<<
