One of my exhaust pipes was too close to the fuselage and early on I noticed
serious heat on the area aft of the pipe.  I went to the auto parts store
and bought a chrome tailpipe extension (about six to eight in. long) just
like the one I put on the tailpipe on my 1940 Ford back in high school
(1955).  It had just a bit of a deflection on the upper edge.  It might have
cost $5.00 or less.  I have had no further problems 800 Tach hours later.
Works good, lasts a long time.  I've replaced it once.
