OK, let me clarify.
CKT DID make the classic systems but I believe they just copied a system
already in existence and supplied to them by Europa. They only got to make
their design mark when they developed the XS system which is currently in
use in some eight other Rotax powered designs.
When I say design flaws I mean it is not considered to be a great piece of
work,(by CKT, not I) a little overweight maybe, but if you run a classic
this is what you are obliged to fit to the aeroplane. Also consider that an
exhaust, stainless or otherwise, is a consumable as is your car exhaust.
I have just spoken to CKT and they are happy to consider a small batch run
of maybe four to six systems, which can then be purchased from me. I have no
interest in making any money from this but will need to cover postage costs.
I'm Ok to do this if it serves the Europa community, especially those state
side. Chris said he will dig out the original drawings and come back with a
system price which I will post on the forum.
In the meantime can anybody who may be interested in a system please let me
know as I will have to let CKT know the amount of interest.

What were the inherent design flaws of the Classic Exhaust?

Hi Bill,
You can contact CKT (Chris Piper) although they are NOT the
manufacturers
of the classic exhausts. CKT designed and developed the XS system. I
know
Chris well and that they have shyed away from copying the classic system
due
to it's inherent design flaws. Send them a mail or alternatively contact
me
off forum.

<europabill@bellsouth.net>
I am looking for an exhaust system for a Classic Europa, new, used, or
junk.
I contacted Europa to get ordering information and John replied saying
they
have found it almost impossible for them to get one manufactured.
Anyone have any suggestions? Converting to an XS firewall forward at
this
time would be costly.
Thanks,
Bill Henderson
