On page 89 of the assembly manual it shows the  exhaust pipe on the LEFT side of the nose strut coming down in front of the  radiator.

 But, on page 179 of the assembly manual it shows  the exhaust pipe on the RIGHT side of the nose strut coming down on the right  side of the radiator.

 WHAT GIVES?

Believe me, Tim, if that's the worst discrepancy  you can find in that manual, you're definitely not looking hard enough!  LOL...  I could spend hours correcting the manual.  One of the main  things that got us through the building process was the fact we had an Allegro  2000 in Sebastian, FL, which was about a 25-30 minute flight for us.   We flew up there to examine that plane and take photos approx. every two  weeks until Southeast Sport Aircraft sold the plane and decided not to be  dealers any longer.  After that, we relied on Matt at B-Bar-D in North  Carolina to answer our questions.  I must say, he was EXTREMELY  helpful and we've both learned quite a bit in the process.

  

 In answer to your question, our exhaust pipe is on  the left side (the pilot's side) of the nose strut.

  

 If you have any trouble deciphering some of those  pages, feel free to post an e-mail.  We, and some of the others on this  site, had to work out quite a few things on our own, but would be glad to share  our findings in order to make things easier on you.  Take my word for it,  there is no such thing as a silly question and asking may save you quite a bit  of time!!!

  

 Good  luck and keep us posted on your  progress,

The reason for that particular discrepancy is that the older Allegros, 

including our SN#03-202, had a different exhaust system than the newer 

ones. The old one is heavier, made of plain steel and painted instead 

of stainless, has the exit pipe on the right side, and a much larger 

heat muff for really good cabin heat. It also has a bad tendency for 

the two  rear cylinder exhaust pipes to crack.  We repaired and finally 

solved our cracking down pipe problem and still have it on our Allegro. 

I appreciate the much better cabin heat in cold weather flying compared 

to the new system.
