Cessna 140 exhaust?

[ajfriz]

I bought a FWF off of a 140 and I was wondering if anyone has tried installing that exhaust on their taylorcraft. I searched, but all I found were write-ups on 150 and luscombe exhaust.

It was a 46-47 with a c-85-12f.

I thought about using a set before I came up with a F19 exhaust for the Deluxe I built. They won't clear the firewall without reworking the ends

If it's straight pipes it's worth giving a shot. If it's "pancake" mufflers they're not worth the price of scrap metal.

The exhaust that came with it is the pancake style. Other than the 25hr AD, what kind of issues would I have running this system?

The 25 hr AD ( like ALL AD's ) may not be a biggie.

However; there is a REASON for a 25 hr AD.

The message is " this is NOT reliable for more than 25hrs.".

I think you might have difficulty getting a Field Approval on a component with

a checkered history.

What if you go through the Paper Chase & then 25 hrs later it is defective?

That is definitely a concern of mine, although this exhaust looks to be in great shape. I guess I'd be better off if I found some luscombe or 150 exhaust even though this exhaust doesn't have many hours on it. With my luck it would fall apart within 25 hrs of getting it approved.

would not bother with the pancake exhaust
