I have a Tower Hobbies .75 ABC 2 stroke glow engine on an Aeroworks Edge 540T (.46-.61). While doing an inverted snap roll, the second half of the muffler departed the airplane. I was able to get the plane back, however, Tower Hobbies states there are no parts available until an estimated date of late June.
Question:
Is there a substitue muffler from a different manufacturer that would fit on this engine and still give good performance?
There is a Pitts style available, however, I don't want to go that route.

Check with Macs Mufflers to see if they have one that will fit that engine. I have one on an OS 46 and it is just fine. It does produce more power, slightly higher RPM.

I use this muffler with my Tower .75 on a similiar sized plane with great results. It fits perfectly. I have no tuning issues that some say can occur with a pitts muffler. Try it, you'll enjoy it!
Sorry, just noticed you said you didn't want a pitts muffler....nevermind.

I can agree with that. got one today and put it on my evo .46, sounds like a totally different motor. love it.
