running straight out the header
i was kinda by mistake, i forgot to bring zip ties to the track today and my little coupler fell off.

i had to richen it up a good bit so i would nt hurt anything.
but dude that little half way shot vx .18 sure sounds great. im gonna make somthing so i have fuel pressure soon.(hard to start)
anyway, am i loseing power cause it sure dont sound that way?

I wouldn't suggest running it from just the header. not sure about nitros but you deffinatlly kill a car engine doing that. Besides how the heck are you keeping it running with no tank pressure?

two stroke engines are tuned in the pipe it is how they make their power if you run with out the pipe it will have less power!

And the pipe makes back presure to keep a fuel presure up to feed the carb. So you have to riching it up to make it run and that will damage your engine very fast.

i just started the car and then took the rubber piece off, it has no fuel pressure but once its running i guess it has enough pull to draw fuel in.
i really think that stock pipe if anything doesnt help, it might even hurt performance.
try it once,
just richen it up first, start the car pull the plastic piece off and run it. its sounds great
