It would be just about the same price to buy a more powerful engine.
Jim,
I don't agree!
It will be MUCH CHEAPER to just get a larger, more powerful engine!
Unless your are competing with your plane in a class where the engine displacement is limited, or that the engine you have comes with a tuned exhaust system as a matter of course (at a price comparable to its normal exhaust system, up to, say $30 more), tuned pipes are not the way to go.
If, say, a .50 engine makes comparable power to a .40 with a tuned-pipe, the .40 engine + the tuned exhaust/pipe will cost $60-150 more than the .50 and be 2-8 ounces heavier...
The exceptions are the mousse can (if you fabricate the header by yourself), or the MVVS tuned silencer (ditto)...
So, what gives?
uh, im not goin got buy the engine then buy a tuned pipe, i have the engine, how do you all think its cheaper to BUY A ENGINE THAN A TUNED PIPE???? i must be missing something here........
