Status: offline 		Did shorten pipe some as I also thought was a bit long.Installed pressure nipple at the"fat"of the pipe,installed fuel filter and filter on pressure line to prevent crap in the tank.Did fire it(with water running through the head,SOUNDS GREAT!!! This .45 has some gump!!! Gonna try a quick run Sat...next ?????? Should I tilt the strut down a tad since the pipe sits so high to balance getting on plane,keepin the nose down a bit??

Status: offline 		Nope. First see how it runs. Negative trim on a cat is recipe for submarine tendencies. Rather keep the strut square and drop in vertical a bit. Will get the nose down quickly. And ditch the filter on the pressure line. Keep one on the fuel line.

Status: offline 		hi 1badmaro.i use %30 nitro byron fuels and prather 220 prop with that pipe on my tc31.u can find this pipe in below adress and i definitely suggest it

http://www.justengines.co.uk/acatalog/Tuned_Pipes.html.  this is the address where i bought this pipe.in this page "20 purple pipe" is mine and only explanation about pipe is "For 21 Engines (use on 37 & 38 for high rpm use)"
