Default Help with Pipe size

So its been awhile since I've needed to order a dual wall pipe. Now that Tam is out of business..(or so I heard). Where are you guys shopping.
I need a pipe for a 100n engine... however I also need it to be slightly smaller than the off the shelf sizes that you would get at Grumania. By that I mean they offer one pipe for 100n to 160N. Well I'm pretty sure if its good for a 160n then its way larger in diameter than is needed for a 100n.
Ideally I would like the outer pipe dia to be around 85mm or smaller if possible. I already have one that is 90mm.. but its tight

So.. What's a SMALL dia pipe that will work with a 100 and where to get it.

Thanks!

the jet central owners manual .pdf has a page with rating sizes and diameters for pipes for their motors, which should be rather across the board usable.

You can go smaller then the Jetcat chart. I run 40mm on "P20", even up to 35N. Jetcat says 45mm. I run 46mm on a 55N engine, Jetcat says 65mm for 60N....

I happen to just have tested a bifurcated thrust tube where I have a Kolibri T25 making 2.8kg, with dual 28mm outlets I got 2.25kg out, with dual 30mm I got 1.9kg. Bigger got significantly less(!) jetcat says dual 40mm?!....

With that said I can not help on a 100N engine, but smaller is usually much better and runs cooler. Even though you would guess the opposite.
