Wow the OS 33 is sooo quiet.
That was precisely my point in doing the video. Just writing the words here didn't give folks a frame of reference. Just a quick listen will tell you all you need to know. Gasoline engines do not have to sound like the gas engines we have heard at the field over the years

The great thing about the set-up is that it is doable with off the shelf components. Even the soft mount is a item that one can purchase either from Merle or from me. BTW- the tank I show in the video is something put together from a Fiji water bottle and fittings I sell. PM me if interested

OS33GT
ESComposites 40G pipe
Dave Brown Hush Clamp pipe mount or similar soft mount for the pipe
Hatori back to center header with a small extension from a broom handle. Tuned length 27'' from exhaust flange to baffle
Soft mount
Apc 20x10.5, 20.5 x 10, 21x10, Mezjlik 19x10 3 blade carbon

Couplers...Macs silicone works okay for 30 flights. Turbo hose works okay for maybe 100 flights. Teflon works okay but tends to leak. Or the best around are the ceramic fibre types I make. They are a little pricier at 10 to 15 depending on shape. but will last several 100 flights
Thanks MTK!
