Default 3W-75i Canister Help

Hey guys, I've got a ZDZ-160 with canister mufflers. Can I use one of those canisters on my 3W-75i?? I know I'll have to buy a new header, but will the can work?

Canisters are rated for cylinder volume,your current units are used on 80 cc cylinders, I would use one on the 75 CC in a heart beat.

The only problem is that they're on a pusher plane, and the exit for the canister looks like the "Jettstream" mufflers where the exhaust tip is towards the front of the aircraft (since it's a pusher)....would that be a problem?

Yes, but there's also an opening in the end towards the rear of your plane....kind of like on the opposite side of where the coupler goes.

If looks like this, the rear tube is for support, not an outlet. A silcone bushing is used to support the rear of the canister.
