Default Weston pipe...help

Jim

I have had exp. with weston pipes in 2 of my DF jets now,and I can tell you this- I honestly feel they are steps above the rest!!!They are alot quieter,lighter & add a noticeable amount of power to your jet.My YA F16 got quite a bit faster after going from a JMP system II to a weston pipe.If your first jet is gonna be a bryon fan setup then your gonna have a mess no matter what cause its a pusher style fan-hence having the fan shoot oil & goop everywhere.But in essence the bryon fans offer more low end power/bite for more authoritive takeoffs & are not real fast whereis dynamax /ramtec setups are not all that messy cause the fan is in front of the engine-these fans are for extreme top end speed..I know I have steered off course a bit here, but wanted to shed a little more light on the scope of the differences & what to expect from each.There really is no way to make a bryon setup totally clean inside,no matter what you do you will have a oily mess at the end of the day.I did try running silicone extensions out of the pipe & out the bottom of my jet once but it just seemed to take away too much power.What you can do to make the mess a little less is to coat the inside of your jet (in the engine area) with talc powder or baby powder-it will help to absorb a lot of the oil/mess-I tried this.As far as a source for weston pipes ,I'd try tgajets.com-they seem to have the best deal around on them & steve & darryl are great guys too & very helpful/exprienced in the jet world.

regards & good luck-Steve
