Wag Aero Aerobatic Exhaust

[redfire122]

Hello Everybody. Wanted to see if anyone else has run into this problem. Purchased Wag Aero Aerobatic exhaust p/n e-332-000. Bolted to Lycoming o-320b2a with standard carb & airbox. Problem is the stacks are bent so they come within 1/2" of the carb heat inlet on the aft right side of the airbox. This does not leave enough room to fit the scat tube on the air box for carb heat. Since these are designed for acro sports, stardusters and pitts can not figure out why they do not seem to fit my installation. Surely there will not be enough heat coming off the exhaust pipe to provide carb heat without some way of ducting it directly to the box.
