I have heard from a few builders that the little turn downs
virtually eliminate the soot issue and that they also reduce
engine noise in the cabin.
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.

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?<<<
