In phase I for my 9A. Have been having a lot of difficulty keeping the RIGHT exhaust pipe (has the heat shroud) clear of the motor mount and the surface of the cowl where it is radiused for the air scoop. I have tried twisting the pipe, adjusting the hangers, trimmed away some of the aft cowl edge. It seems when I get the pipe to lear the engine mount it wants to hit the cowl at the radius, and vice versa. I have a friend who is an IA/A&P and he has suggested having the exhaust pipe modified at those two points, specifically, he has suggested having it flattened at those points to improve the clearance. Has anyone else done this or modified their cowl. I am getting quite frustrated with the problem!
