It was an accident, let's not let that happen again.. . These forums are too tame without arguments.

I'm thinking of all the tuned pipe posts that go pretty much the same way each time, and the reduced fuss factor. Mind you, if I already had the pipe setup and had to mail order the tuned muffler, I'd probably be going at the pipe system to make it work.

Jim it's not a nightmare to set up a pipe system, don't let us scare you. A methodical approach with the fundamentals in mind will get you there. Your prop choices and rpm goals are fine, there is not a whole lot more to it than to start longer than needed and trim 1/4" increments until rpm stops climbing as per the usual instructions posted here and there. The biggest cause of headaches I've seen on RCU is pipe systems too short often coupled with the user being convinced the problem is something else.
