Hi Sportster. What pipe are you looking for?

I think you will find that Minn is right. The pipe is a bit more of a pain at this point in your flying than it is worth. One other consideration. Every pipe I have used is louder than the muffler you now have. If you have whiney neighbors, they will whine more when you rap on the pipe.

I have them on pattern planes, but on a trainer, they are just something that costs more, doesn't do a lot, and will bend when you crash.

Hold off on it till you get into a plane that needs it. It will save you a lot of headache. Spend the money on your next kit. Maybe a sportster. That one is fun and works well with a pipe. Had one on my 60. Retracts too.
