Bill, surprisingly I don't have any pictures of the exhaust coming out the cowl. Here is a picture of where the exhaust is located. There is a simple hole in the fiberglass with about a 1 inch gap. Over that there is a thin SS plate molded to fit the cowl and screws into nut plates in the cowl. there is about a 1/4 inch gap between the hole in the SS plate and the exhaust pipe.

There are lots of other places the cowl leaks. These I intend to shore up and improve my water cooling a little. They include a 1/2 gap around the PSRU (behind the spinner, plan to install rubber seals), 1/2 inch gap at each gear leg (will be improved when I install my gear leg intersection fairings), and the hinges themselves (this will require annual coats of carefully placed RTV).

Then a little fresh air to the coolest part of the rad, and fresh cool air for the turbo intake (currently using hot cowl air) and I hope to be good to go.

Dave,

Where does the exhaust exit your cowl? I am trying to see how you pressurize the cowl.
