Default Smoke system on FG84 R3

Hi Everyone,
I'm currently in the middle of a Sukhoi SU26 build. I have the Saito FG84 R3, and have had the Ray English mods done to it. It has the Keleo ring
exhaust. I want to add a smoke system to it, has anyone tapped the Keleo muffler and done this? Would I tap all three exhaust ports? Maybe someone can point me in the right direction, or share some tips.
Thanks in advance,
Bob Lemay,
Sherman Ct.

The Keleo exhaust ring is tapped and has a nipple for smoke as can be seen in the attached link. I have the Keleo exhaust ring for the FG90 and FG60 and both rings have the nipple installed.

Thanks.
Ray had told me to use that fitting for back pressure, with an inline filter, to the tank. I did, and it works good. Would you keep that, and drill another fitting?

Bob, I recommend you read posts #2386 to # 2390 in the link below and ask your questions in that thread concerning smoke & pressure nipple placement.
