Default Header run length for Extra 300

I'm planning the canister and header installation for my 3W 110. If I go with the 3W canisters, the recommended header run length is about 7.75". Other canisters have header run lengths of over 11 inches.

Does anyone know if a header run length of 7.75" is too short for the canisters to be adequately located in the Extra's fuselage?

What is a typical header run length for you who are running canisters? Maybe I should choose a different brand of canister so that I can have the correct header length and tuning in my Extra.

Any ideas?

Chris.

Chris,
I can't say for sure but I think those headers would be to short for the 300. We used MTW 75s with full length headers on the setup shown in the manual.

Thanks Mark,
That's pretty much what I was thinking. I'm not sure why the 3W pipes have such a short header other than that's the design; it just seems that to have a 7.5" header is a little impractical.

Anyway, thanks for the information.

Chris.
