Mortarion42 Posted June 26, 2022 Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 Hey everyone, Purchased my E after finding it for sale here on MS a few months ago. I've been absolutely loving it and have been learning its individual quirks after flying it home from CA to MO, then around the local area. My local mechanic recently pointed out to me that he doesn't think my exhaust is the correct part. Admittedly he doesn't have a ton of Mooney experience but he's somewhat familiar. You can see that it doesn't quite fit the cowl flap opening right, and when the cowl flaps are in the fully closed position they rest on the pipe - they won't actually even come close to closing flush. Anyone else with a vintage bird have this or is my mechanic right and I have the wrong part? I can't recall seeing anythings in the logs about a new exhaust at any point, but I will go back through them again tonight. Thanks for any advice!

carusoam Posted June 26, 2022 Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 Doesn’t look right… Also shows some rubbing… and alignment issue… Probably only needs the last part called the tail pipe… Let’s ask @M20Doc (M20E exhaust pipe question) Best regards, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 26, 2022 Report Share Posted June 26, 2022 It appears to be a J model tailpipe but not well fitted to the muffler. Some minor adjusting is required. Clarence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortarion42 Posted June 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 Thanks for the responses! @M20Doc do you have any specific feedback besides "needs adjustment"? That way I can go back to my mechanic and have some idea of what I should tell him. - Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
