Hey Mike,
I started on my new H9 Sundowner today. Everything checkout ok. I also purchased the Evolution 26gx and a side mount muffler. I also ordered the matching tuned pipe. My question is: Will the header extend down far enough to mount the tuned pipe? I know I will have to change the timing, but do you think I will see an improvement? I have been flying the H9 Cap232g with the Evolution 45gx2 for about two years without any problems. After reading hours of the RCU forums, I found a few complaints about structural defects in the Sundowner mostly motor box and fuselage near the vertical stab. Any comments or suggestions? I also read that those problems were corrected. I really like the plane and I am looking foward to seeing it making those high speed passes over the runway.
Thanks,
George G. Royal

I have found this web site for the EVO 26 and tuned pipe, this guy really knows what he's talking about and I know because I have the same engine and tuned pipe.
