Darcy Wingo is a Composite-ARF team pilot for Bob Shapiro. He built my 3.0m Extra. Here's the build thread with a lot of good information and pictures.

He's real good about answering questions.

Good luck!!

Here are some, MTW crossover headers and KS cans. Works great. Going to check out the full length pipes though, that sounds cool LOL.

RickP: Have you ever had the KS system in a plane with out the cross over headers? Can you tell me if the cross over has a noticable improvement in the 1/4 throttle range? I'm currently running straight heades to KS Cans. Headers are 12.25 in. long. How long are those? Thanks,

Don,
I don't believe that the cross over headers are good for any power increase. The only benifit is that you can get larger cans in a Comp ARF 3.0 then you could normally. And the larger cans should be good for more power HTH.
