O-200 Exhaust ... Straight pipes or cross?
I have a few leads on a the O-200 exhaust pipes that cross underneath the engine and have one pipe out the cowling. But I read and heard in YouTube videos that with the straight out exhaust and 2 piples coming out the cowling, the temp inside the cowling stays lower, oil temp stays lower and I might not need an oil cooler.

Love building planes almost as much as flying. Latest completed build is "Loki", a Chinook Plus 2 bush plane.

IMO, you will need an oil cooler.

I got rid of my crossover exhaust system (probably still have it around) but haven’t fully tested my 2-1on each side yet to see a difference in cooling. But the crossover definitely puts heat up in front of the engine. I kept my same oil cooler.

A properly baffled O-200 doesn't normally need an oil cooler. Exception might be If you are consistently flying in , 95° ambient.

The cross over system is a maintenance nightmare. Two-into-one on each side is much more serviceable.

Yeah but…….4:1 sure sounds good on a fly by. Nice and quiet. 😊

Agreed, and straights sound more like a Formula 1 flyover 😂

How about a 4:4 system with stubby pipes - no bends, each pipe is straight and goes down through it's own hole in the cowling and chopped off about 2-3 inches past the cowling? The longest pipe is about 12 inches and the shortest is about 7. That's how the system is on my O-200 (only 5 hours on it with it in this configuration)(150 ish hours on the Revmaster that I pulled after the third time it tried to kill me...). Am I'm gonna have cracks with this setup? Was just thinking I may need a spring-type setup between the pipes inside the cowling to maintain tension on the pipes.

I would think the drag penalty from 4 pipes sticking out in the airstream would be too much to bear! I'd estimate a 20 mph penalty.
And as far as the 2 on one side. The fireing order is 1-3-2-4, so if you combine the 1-3 pipes into one you get two power pulses then 2 cycles of nothing. This is less than optimal.

A F1 racer has so much drag that it needs 1000 hp to go 200 mph!
Ya gotta think about low drag in a Q if you want to go fast.

< isn't much concern put into making them fly xxxx hours reliably and they have more dead stick landings than the general population.>
What data do you have to support this? How much F1 racing experience fo you have to back up these opinions?
As an F1 racer both at Reno and internationally I can attest your statement is not valid.

I’m no expert but the first three F1 racers I looked at all had 90-100hp and two were the O-200 Cont.
