No, the SB16 is a 2 piece, when you crash and you dont break the engine because its a 2 piece you will be glad it is a 2 piece.

thanks for replying again. what are your thoughts of the muscle pipe 2 by Curtis youngblood. he says that his muffler makes .3hp more than the sb16. what are your thoughts?

My flying buddy uses the MP2 on his Fury, and its awesome. I would highly recommend the MP2. I think it does develop more Hp than the Hatori. Personally, I just think the MP2 is kinda ugly, but it really works sweet. But either will work fine for your application.

Just another note, I think depending on your gear ratio the SB16 may work better. I have seen people selling the MP2 to go with the SB16. Daz...

well, I'll be using the supplied gear ratio for the .90s engines...I think it's 7.15 or something like that. what do most ppl use at the flying field? the hatori or the mp2? most of the ppl where I fly run the mp2.

If your buddies are using that, then maybe you should go that route. It may be easier for you to get it tuned. My flying buddy is running a MP2 on his YS80, and another that has the SB16 Hatori, both run great. I really dont think you can make a bad choice, the MP2 certainly costs less.

SB-16 If it is good enough for Todd Bennett it is good enough for me.
Works AWESOME on my YS80 equipped R61. I crash to much to use a 1 piece muffler. Don't want to have to replace the engine case which DOES happen using a 1 piece.
