Default Exhaust tailpipe angle

Ive got 25 degrees down from the belly, but the tips angle toward each other. if i twist them to exit straighter the pipes are too close to the cowl. (Vetterman crossover) Does this look about right?

I fretted about this and got them equally distant from the cowling and the fuselage. I probably spent more time on this than I needed. I happened to be at Vans the other day and took a picture of the 6 and it's exhaust. It's clear that the exact exit and alignment isn't important. Just keep it centered.

Found the same situation on my 9A. Just do your best ... It'll be fine.

I've got the dual muffler exhaust from Vetterman and it does the same thing. The pipes exit down and angle toward the center.



The wide angle lens of the camera makes these look much more parallel than they really are.
