Great source info., Blaine. Maybe KRN would want to advertise the 0450340-1 braces on our website...and NL? Their website indicates that they have both new and serviceable, so wonder if "serviceable" might be less cost(?). The last I saw on Ebay was "firm" at $599.00...so $799 may not be all that bad -- although just a "few" years back folks practically gave them away...but I digress as I get older ;-). In any event, although the cost of the brace does add a bit to the "conversion", it's a great STC'd answer to replacing the aging old "straight" and the Pancake exhaust systems. (FWIW, though mildly unrelated, WagAero has a copy of the old straight exhaust tailpipe bracket -- 'though not "certified", it fits and functions similar to the Cessna part that's no longer available & helps extend the life for those of us still hanging on to early OEM.)

Thanks Mac, yes I would have thought with all the wrecked 150's out there that these things would not be commanding such a price. It looks like buying wrecked airplanes and parting them out must be a good money maker.

I just recieved my new exhaust system too. Did you take any pictures of your new install when the cowl was off?
I would be interested to see those. Planning to have the new system installed next month.

Following as I'll be replacing my old Pancake Exhaust in the very near future .... just stunned at everything I'll need to make it "right".
