Default Lower Vetterman Exhaust Hangars

Would be interested in feedback from others on where the optimal routing of the rear exhaust hangars should be on a 7A model (0-360 if that matters). In looking at others websites, it seems many have connected it right above the bend in the pipe. In speaking with Vetterman, they recommend as far down the pipe as possible (definitely below the bend) to help support the rear weight to prevent cracks.

It seems there are three options:

1) Above the main nosegear steam.
2) Below the nosegear stem "through the web".
3) Below the nosegear assembly (somewhat below the fuse but still in the canopy blister.

Also, in doing so, have others had to bend the upper mounts to align?

Thanks,
Scott
