Plumbing the exhaust on a newly arrived Cotswold Cirrus Engine

Plumbing the exhaust on one of these isn't the easiest of things, this is what I came up with and works really well.

Neat solution, but shouldn’t this have been shipped with the Perseus? 😂

You laid that exhaust perfectly, that will keep things clean. So are you and Nick trying to corner
