One last round of questions
Is there a preformance differenc between a fire and sport i was told by the lhs that a re exaust will always give you more rpm, and i was also told that a full legnth pipe will give me more rpm so those 2 factors led to me thinkign about a FIRE
ARe these to statments untrue^ is there a preformance difference?
Like Bob said -
"the RE engine is not going to be much faster (if at all). "
Unless you are proficient at tuning rear exhaust your performance could be worse. Then you have to re-tune the pipe just to change props. A possible gain of a couple hundred rpm is not worth the trouble for most. The side exhaust engines work well with most airframes including the Dust.
EDIT-Were your friends comparing RE tuned pipe to stock exhaust or the tuned muffler like you get on a Jett? There is a huge difference compared to a stock muffler but very little compared to a tuned muffler.
