The exhaust on a C900 is a piece of cake - you undo the downpipe clamp, undo the bracket that holds it to the gearbox, unhook all the rubbers and it's off. Plenty of PlusGas on the exhaust nuts, and plenty of copperslip when reassembling. Put the front end up on stands, it'll make your life easier. -- Grunff
