Yeah, I'm speaking "Massachusetts", lol. Sorry! :LOL:

Wow, they've got that down to a science! Great info - I appreciate it! Never realized a system 20' long could grow that much! It's probably not visible in the pictures, but my dad's install uses this double-walled pipe on the through-wall section. Zero danger. I can hold my hand on it...

I had that in the back of my mind, Light! Brilliant minds think alike.

Great idea. I may do that. I had a difficult time getting that iron coupler on there, since the pipe didn't sit centered in the hole. You can see it in the picture - it's off to one side very tightly. Not sure why that is. Could be just because of where the muffler was sitting when the bolts...

I just measured the OD of the flex pipe threads, and I think I should be able to weld that up right to the exhaust pipe without much trouble. Should be close enough. I put a nice quick-release union on my dad's setup, but at over $60 just for that, I think I'll just sawzall the pipe if I need...

Ahh, I actually didn't even think to anti-seize the threads! Great idea, Tinstar. I found a section of pipe, 7.5' long at Summit Racing for $22 - that works! Now the problem is, how the heck do I join that to black iron? Guess I could use some high temp silicone tubing found in performance...

Found a nice flex pipe on Zoro. Wasn't cheap, but it'll get the job done. I had ordered pipe I had planned to weld together from some company in NYC - 4 days later I'm looking at the email they sent. No shipping! What a waste that was. They refunded my card at least. Back to the drawing board...

Great points. Definitely flex for a least a couple feet up. The previous owner installed some screens around the unit. I think there's just one area he didn't do, that I'll have to mouseproof. We've got plenty of them around here. My cats usually grab at least one a day from the basement of the...

Yeah, in hindsight I think it would've been better to move the unit outside, behind the barn, but I've already ordered 55' of cable, so now it's going to stay where it's at (Center of my barn). I would need at least 110' to get behind the barn out of sight. Ends up cheaper wire-wise, at least...

Great point, Ray. I appreciate that. I think what I'm going to do instead is run the pipe out the side of my barn, opposite my house. Much shorter run (15'-20' tops), and much simpler (And cheaper - that's a win for me). Will be visible from the road, but we're pretty rural here, thankfully.

EXCELLENT info everyone! Much appreciated! Still on the fence, but I'm leaning towards going through the roof just for simplicity, even though I'll have to climb up there & flash the projection at the shingles. Should be within the next couple weeks, whatever I decide - I'll post back when I...

Great site here. I searched this topic but I seem to be the only one with this crazy idea ... So, my newly acquired unit is going to be in a barn, set up with an automatic transfer switch for whole house power. I want to run the exhaust out back, just to keep future bad actors guessing as to...
