Hey guys. Im doing an electric to glow conversion, and I have an issue. The stock exhaust for my enya 46-4c wont work for this application. This is my first 4c engine, so I dont know where to source parts and such. I need an exhaust pipe that makes a 45* bend immediatly when it comes out of the engine. This way the exhaust will be directed straight away from the engine.

Can you guys help me? IDK where to look.

I tried to bend the stock one, but the metal is fairly hard, and Im afraid Im going to crush it, or strip the head. I only need about another 22.5 degrees of bend out of the stock one and it will work. Do you guys think if I heated it with a torch to red hot that it would bend? I dont know what material it is.

Thanks in advance.

Hot Dang, a man after my own heart, an electric to glow conversion Ive done a few also. Amazing new crop of electrics just crying out for a glow engine, but then agine I,ve also done a few RC to controlline conversions, Kinda fun watching the traffic jam on the other side of the freeway going the other way.

I,ve always just made a simple tunnel as neccessary though.

Check the copper plumbing fittings. I have used "sweat" elbows, clamped into place.
