Default RE: 1/2A Diesel Engines?

Hi guys, thought I had everything settled, but I need more help!

Went down to the shop today to buy the enya 06 IID and the 11CXD. Turns out the 06 IID is out of stock (they said they had 2 last friday!). Got a tip off and found that the neighbouring shop has an MVVS .25 diesel for sale at about 30% less than the Enya!!

Only problem with the MVVS is that it doesn't come with a muffler. The exhaust port does lok about the same as a 1/10 scale car engine though. Anyone tried installing a car tuned pipe system? its either that or a car header coupled to a Bolly Super pipe, I think. I understand diesels don't really respond to back pressure like 2 stroke glow engines, but this seems to be the only way forward as it does not seem possible to get an MVVS muffler locally. Would be pretty cool to route the tuned pipe through the fuselage like they do on the big pattern planes?

Thanks!
