Default 4 pipe 1.75" exhaust extensions / tips - what are my options?

I'm looking for exhaust tips/extension for a four pipe system with 1-3/4" pipes which have the last couple inches turned down.

I have recently modified my exhaust hanger system which spread the 1, 3 and 2, 4 exhaust further out from the center and raised them.

It's hard to measure.. but I feel the cockpit is louder and I'd like to try exhaust extensions.

Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks!

Default tips.

Any muffler shop can supply 1.75 turn downs then expand them to slip over the existing. should be cheap just don't say they're for an airplane.

Give Clint a call. He or Larry most likely made your exhaust and can supply whatever you need.

This is the way to go. You will get matching material, not mild steel like from a muffler shop, and they will even include the correct fastening hardware-----at least mine had the hardware.
