[C320-list] exhaust mixing elbows

[Chris Holt]

Darn it!  That is the custom elbow.  That means I have a custom one also.  I 
have been meaning to replace it and when a local shop and I were trying to 
find the right one in the Yanmar part list we couldn't find it.  So they 
told me to bring it in once I take it off and they'll take a look.
Sounds like they won't be able to find it.
