<HTML><BODY STYLE="font:10pt verdana; border:none;"><DIV>I agree. I have an O.S. 1.40RX in my Typhoon 2000, and it pulls great. I'm not sure of the dimensions on your 1000, but I'm guessing it has less wing area than the 2000 which should make it a little bit lighter. I have an ES Composite Pipe which is LIGHT!!!!!!!!!!! Good combination.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt Arial">----- Original Message -----</DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt Arial; COLOR: black"><B>From:</B> Lou Olsen</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt Arial"><B>Sent:</B> Thursday, September 19, 2002 6:29 PM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt Arial"><B>To:</B> discussion@nsrca.org</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt Arial"><B>Subject:</B> Re: Opinions;Advice; Suggestions?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>My opinion,<BR><BR>Put in an OS 140RX, pick your exhaust system, I used a<BR>Bolly pipe.<BR><BR>My OS set up worked great.<BR><BR>Not to offend anyone, but if you have followed this<BR>for some time, rarely do you see hints, tips, tricks<BR>to make the OS140RX work.
