You need a pipe hanger for sure located at about the CG of the pipe. Go to Tower, available for around $10.00, think a Dave Brown product. Central Hobbies carries a number of different types. Its a easy install, but should connect to a piece of plywood to spread the load. Yes, the pipe-header connection is make from good quality silicone. Get the good stuff from Jett or Nelson or good HS. Last thing you want is to have the connection burn through and leave that $100.00 pipe waiving in the breez. ENJOY

Status: offline 		You definately want to support the pipe. Mount it at the fat part of the pipe --- or just aft of there.

The dave brown pipe mount is a good choice.

Hush mount or hard mount is ok. I prefer the hard mount if pulling a lot of G in the turns.

A zip tie on each side of the header coupler is needed too.

Thanks for the assistance there rmenke

Status: offline 		I can not directly confirm the size match, since I dont have a dave brown hush mount on hand, but the 7.5cc pipe is considered a .40 size pipe. No reason it should not fit... size mainly has to do with the size of the o-ring supplied.

I usually use the standard dave brown mount... uses a tie wrap to retain the pipe into a small cradle. So size is not an issue.
