    Jim,
    We had to redirect and seal off the radiators to get the temp to stay in range.
    I am having the lower cowl enclosed for the reason you stated.

    I did not use the oil injection on this engine.
    I decided to just add add oil to the wing tanks and just shake the wings to mix.

    There is over 20 plus hrs installing the pipe on my Avid.
    What started out as a 8 hr install,turned into a fitting and welding challenge.
     
    Rotax Rick is a super nice person to deal with.
    Having Raced karts for many years I new on a 2 stroke engine I would not get the performance out of the 670 with out the tuned pipe.
     
    Here are some pictures of my plane and engine.
     
    First you can see how low the exhaust sits below the cowl.

    Now 3 views with the cowl off.
     

     

     

     
    During first flight,Got the temp up plane seemed to roll about 3-4 seconds and it was air born.
    Had to release back pressure so I could find the horizon.
    This will be a great plane once I get it on some amphib floats.

    Thx for the reply,
    I will update after the holiday.
    This was a 4 month project with  a A-m-I mechanic and a aviation school involved.
    I just wanted to know if anyone has completed a 670 install and exhaust.
    Having problems loading the pictures.
    Exhaust was mounted side to side.

    Installing Rotax Ricks 670 Muffler on a 670
    Has anyone installed Ricks 670 in an Avid MK-4 and his Muffler system?
    I would like to know how involved it is.
                    Thx Marv
