This is about the fourth evolution of the exhaust support system!
I tried several ways to support it off the engine mount, but the engine moves around a lot during aerobatics, and I was constantly having to adjust it. This bracket hangs from the otherwise unused governor pad. The three arms are all rubber isolated from each other, which is essential if you don't want things to crack. The stainless clamps must be shimmed with a couple of washers, or they will pinch the pipes too tightly, and will crack the clamps. I have now had this support system in use for over 250 hours with no further problems.
