RE: tuned pipe on a fox 46

Tim,

Let's go through the motions here:

The price of Fox engines is [link=http://www.foxmanufacturing.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=143&zenid=3d5fce3d 501680dac296cb82c660da17]shown here[/link]. I know it is the MSRP that no one sells at, but let's follow it.

The .46 ABC engine costs about $187 and the .61 ABC engine costs about $242. The difference is $55.

Now, let's go to the [link=http://www.macspro.com/]Macs web site[/link].

A 258x header will cost you $29, a 1040 quiet tuned pipe will cost $80 and a 1240 muffed pipe will be $68. Your choice.
This investment of $97, or $109, does not include a coupler, retainer bands and tuned-pipe bracket(s).

Do you think that after investing a lot more in the Fox .46, it will now make the same power as the Fox Eagle IV .61???
Not in your life-time...

If you need the power of a .61, a piped .46 will not do it. Just buy the .61 outright.

-------------------------------

I mentioned the inexpensive solutions; the mousse can, the Tower/Hobbico .46 muffler and the MVVS #3248 tuned silencer, since they cost much less

... Providing you can adapt any of them to your engine.
