Default 160 FX in a 1/4 Cap 232 with a Stock Muffler?

I have heard some of you are doing this, any way you could post a pic? I would like to run the stock muffler but am not sure how to make it work. Additionally w/o the baffle will I need to run a Perry pump or a Cline? I would like to do it w/o, but don't want to re run the fuel lines several times.
Thanks in advance

If your talking about a Hangar 9 or Sig. it will pull it fine. Personally I fell that is the bottom line. I have seen Moki 2.10, OS BGX and Saito 150/180. I have also seen the 1.60 fx pull that Big WM P-51 with some authority and i am at 5000ft.

Default Um, Not sure

I was actually asking how people are fitting the stock muffler in the cowl with a H9 1/4 cap 232. I would like to see some pictures of a 1.6 FX mounted with a stock muffler.

I am confident it will pull the cap around, but how to stuff all that in the cowl is the question.

I have the stock muffler on mine. I have extended my nose on my cap for balance. I basically made a motor box. Muffler fit wasn't a problem in the rear. The front of the muffler does stick out the front of the cowl and looks a little goofy but oh well. I will try to post a pic, with out the cowling. Hope this helps.
