Chris,
I've removed the bottom cowl numerous times on my 415C and it only takes 10 minutes.

It took a few iterations to determine how to maneuver the muffler to get it out of the engine mount, but I believe it can be done. Lynn Nelsen In a message dated 7/6/2010 10:09:59 P.M.

I got a replacement muffler from Skyport today, but my mechanic & I are trying to figure out how to get the new muffler in place. We pulled the right hand exhaust stack to get the old muffler out. We're hoping we don't have to drop the bottom cowling to get the new one in. Any thoughts?
