Nice stands.

I have a set of the ES carbon pipes for a 3w-106, similar to the black ones in the pictures. It would be nice if the pipes were short enough to exit before reaching the tailwheel of a 35%-40% plane. Perhaps a bit of an exaggeration but nobody makes a plane with a tunnel long enough for your pipes. By the time you add the header you have well over 4 feet of pipe!! I'm thinking of putting them on a full sized Baja Bug for stingers.
Pat, shorter pipes won't cut it. In that case you need to use canisters, and live with the less available power. BTW , Pipes also increase fuel economy by stopping waste of fuel mixture blow-by.
