I have an RV-8 with a Lycoming IO-360 and I'm mounting Vetterman Dual Muffler exhaust pipes. I am trying to figure out the tailpipe mounts. They came with a 2-d diagram, and I understand the parts, but something about the geometry is 3D failing me.
It seems as though the standoffs inside the black rubber pipes are far too long, and that the tab that connects them to the tailpipe needs to be bent about 90 degrees. Further, it says to mount two of the standoffs on the rear most bolts of the sump. I converted to a Superior Cold Induction sump, so I'm a little non-stock there too, but it seems as though those bolts are nowhere near where they would need to be.
Can anyone point me at any pictures that show how this exhaust it normally installed?
