<DIV><SPAN class=430233401-06052003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Just
a point of clarification - the 480, 590 and 565 are mufflers only, not tuned
pipes, so comparing them to the ES pipe isn't really apples to apples.
The EQ140R would be a more appropriate comparison, as it is properly baffled
for an rpm boost. Different products for a different applications - the
mufflers were developed when popular opinion was that there was more
than enough power available in the 140 2Cs and that the boost wasn't
needed. Now that the current crop of F3A kits are getting HUGE, the
tuned pipe boost is back in vogue.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=430233401-06052003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>BTW,
we're working with the gent who posted about the Bolly pipes "leaking" and
"gaining weight" to sort out what's up. While they do "weep" for the
first few flights till the resin stabilizes, and they can be ruined if they
get cooked (as can all c/f pipes) it's the first we've heard of anything like
this, so the research continues. If any other Bolly pipe/muffler users
have had this problem, would you please contact me
directly.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

480, 590, and 565. The 565 worked the best on the ST2300.
However, each of these pipes was easily outperformed by the ES.
The 3M carbon pipe has the first baffle in the same location as the ES
2-cycle pipe I have and it looks very similar in overall dimensions.
If I remember correctly, the first baffles of all the Bolly pipes were
a lot closer to the neck opening than the ES or 3M pipes. The 3M
carbon pipe has an </SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN

its note is similar to an Asano pipe I've heard run on Donny Wright's OS
RX. The Greve pipe has a longer first baffle dimension, so you'll need
to run a shorter header length to get the same tuning as the ES/OS type of
pipes. With the 17 x 13, you'll need all the power your can muster
mister!</SPAN></FONT></P>

noted a 2" difference in the 1st baffle position in the Bolly pipe
