Today I went flying and, to make a long story short, part of my exhaust broke off and departed the aircraft.
I bought the RV-6 and have contacted the builder to try to learn the type of exhaust system that is on it.
It is designed that the #2 cylinder crosses over the the #1 cylinder through a heat muff. The heat muff has nipples on each side that connect to the cylinders. The #2 cylinder has a Y where one pipe goes to the muff and the other drops down and exists the center of the cowling. This is the pipe that broke at the Y and is missing.
Anyone know who makes this system? I'd love to get just the part that is broken and not have to replace the complete system.
Thanks,
