Default in need of silence

ok so i know iv probably asked this before but i have a gt2 that im working on and my goal is to make it wisper quiet i want it to able to run at night without waking the dead, i do want to keep it nitro and i know it is possible to make a nitro run really quiet as i have an airplane engine that about the same as an electric fan for noise, but unfortunatly i have been unable to find any silent mufflers, is there a way to build one? or possibly a device to place on the pipe to make it really super queit?

yes you know those 50cc poketbikes the use a silence can use some old fiberglass you can get some from homedepot and get a metal tube and weld a cap on one end and a cone on the other the dril a hole for the fule nipple and weld the stinger any place u want and that should work oh the fiberglass will wear out so when it getts loud just cut the cap off and put some more in oh one thin it will be a pipe in a pipe so in the sinter of the big pipe put a smaler one with holes

good thread.

i have wondered this myself.

it seems that you could mod the standard pipes since the header end is big enough to experiment with different inserts and such.

I have a stock hpi pipe that is pretty quiet. I don't know about 'whisper quiet', but it is a far cry from my dynamite short, dual chamber.
I haven't run with it in quite a while, so I don't remember exactly, but I remember that it was quiet. Then I switched to a stock associated rc10gt pipe, and it was louder again.
