Anyone have either or both sides? With all the C-150 exhaust conversions out there, there should be plenty of them laying around.

Pulled the muff off the exhaust during the annual and found some really ugly welds.

Re: WANTED: 1946 C-85 Exhaust system
Keep a watch on Ebay. There were quite a few serviceable parts and pieces in SNF & OSH fly markets over the years but few show up any more -- I suspect they've slowly been covered up in the corner of hangars (...sure happens to stuff in mine!
), but some do occasionally still show up on Ebay. Too, there's a couple of AC exhaust sellers that will "repair" yours, but for a hefty cost (...think $1,000 or so per side 
). FWIW, WagAero sells a copy of the exhaust bracket, 'though not "approved"...believe they're backordered right now. ...sorry, not much help. Mac-

If you're talking about the "pancake" mufflers, they were no good when new and haven't gotten any better with age. You're much better off replacing them with one of the O-200 conversions. Of course, the '46 straight pipes are better than either!
OBTW, the same exhaust will fit C85, C90 or O-200.

The straight pipes is what I have. They are simply three pieces of pipe welded into a crooked "Y."

Send them to Dawley Aviation. They will come back looking like new.

Re: WANTED: 1946 C-85 Exhaust system
I had a custom exhaust made up by Custom Aircraft Parts in El Cajon, CA. A little $$ but it was the best decision. Awesome system.
