Default Need a box shaped nosebowl

Ah, right. I'd start by looking at other airplanes that use that
particular model of exhaust system, and see what they use for a
cowling. It might be that the nose bowl of a PA-28 would fit, I seem
to recall it as pretty tall. If something like that doesn't work, you
will probably end up making an entire cowling, including nosebowl,
from scratch or nearly so.

Well, that's not actually what I'd do. I'd probably flog that exhaust
system on eBay and go with a different system that fits into a tighter
cowl. I just don't see the point in adding so extra frontal area and
volume to the cowling for an exhaust system with little if any benefit
over other systems available for experimental airplanes. But that's
just me.

Thanks again, Bob K.
