Before permanently attaching the
muffler and exhaust system to my Excalibur, I wanted it coated to protect it,
help with performance, and add a nice look to the Excalibur. A coated
exhaust system looks like this: 
First we attached the exhaust system to the engine: 
and then removed the elbow after marking the places for the spring retainers: 
Then Mike welded the retainers into place: 
Then we attached the exhaust system and connected the springs: 
I then shipped the exhaust system to Baxter Engineering for the stainless
steel/ceramic coating. Their website is located here: http://www.bc-engr.com/Avaition_Hobby/avaition_hobby.html.
Before I left Mike's, I took some pictures of my trailer. Notice the wing slings, parts cases, ramp door and side entry door. Neat huh?
