[C320-list] exhaust mixing elbows

[jonvez at comcast.net]

Dick,

It sounds like you may have only replaced the elbow--$440 sounds about right for all three pieces--the riser, the turning collar and the elbow itself...I plan on doing this as well and have priced these pieces out with several vendors.
The one concern I have is alignment. Mine is one of the boats that came with a custom fabricated exhaust/mixing elbow. Although the collar lets you turn the piece that connects to the hose/muffler, it's the angle that concerns me a bit....anyone have a similar set up?

Regards,

Jon Vez
