[C320-list] Exhaust Riser Elbow

[jonvez at comcast.net]

I'm afraid so, the mixing elbow is indeed custom. I called Catalina last night to confirm and just like the muffler, it is custom. Apparently Catalina used to provide them if you gave them dimensions, but they are no longer willing to do this because of fit issues. I asked Catalina what other options I had and they directed my to a company called Foredeck. They were very nice to deal with, but don't do engine parts, just Catalina hardware. The turn around time is at least 2 weeks from the time they receive the elbow, and because of the time of year, that could be longer.

Regards,

Jon Vez
