Default H9 CAP 232 25% Tuned pipe ?

Has anyone with this hanger 9 cap 232 25% managed to fit a tuned pipe. I plan to use a OS 160FX so is a big pipe looks like more trouble than it,s worth. Have you been successful ?

Thats sounds unneccessary, to put a tuned pipe on this plane. 1st of all, what would you get out of it? More speed, maybe a little. But this planes maximum performance is not built around speed. It is built around Thrust, and HP.
Now from the other side, I like to be innovative too and try new things. I know a guy who has a 40 size Cap with a YS45 on it, and to me, it doesnt fly like a Cap, it flies more like a racer plane, zipping from one end of the field to the other. I think you will be very pleased with the performance of the OS160fx, without a pipe, I have 3 of them. Just my opinion though.

the 160 will hang a 16 to 17 lb plane,putting a pipe on the cap(14lbs built heavy)is a waste of time.
