Default Super Tiger 45 muffler

does anyone know if the muffler for the Tower Hobbies 46
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXJB16&P=0
will fit the Super Tiger 45? The description says it won't fit the ST 42 but it doesn't say anything about the ST 45.

I used a Tower 46 muffler on a ST 45 for a few years. It almost fits. Just use a needle file on the exhaust port side of the exhaust stack. It will bolt right on. Just about .020" on each hole

Thanks for the info. I was hoping it was something small like that since they both say the bolts are 36mm apart.
I'm hoping the Tower muffler will be a weight savings over the stock muffler.
Did you notice any performance gains in your engine with this muffler?

I cannot say. I never ran the engine without the Tower muffler.

The Tower muffler is a big plus in weight saving and will provide some performance. I always use a little gray RTV sealant and no gasket on all mufflers. You get max backpressure and no oil leakage from that joint now. Enlongate the mount holes a little and your good to go.

This is slightly irrelevant, but the page doesn't even mention Super Tigre, it's talking about Thunder Tiger - I don't think ST ever even did a .42.
