<DIV>Ryan,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Asano setup is designed for the OS140 which has different port
timing than the 145 - the stock setup is about 24" (610 mm) exhaust flange
to tuning baffle.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The recommended tune length from Webra for the 145 using the tuned
muffler (Horizon part # 1100/260, I believe also sold by Piedmont) is 780mm
(30.75"), from the exhaust flange to the flat end of the pipe before the
exhaust stinger. 800m for the 160 - which is interesting because the
160 is a lower timed engine which typically will utilize a shorter tune
length. I believe Webra is specifying these tune lengths for approx
8100 RPM.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am running the 160s and find that the 1100/260 at 31" ( 787 mm)
to the flat end (24" to the tuning baffle) and the Asano at 23.785" run
similarly at about 7700 RPM.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>More RPM = shorter pipe. If the pipe is too short, the main
needle will be sensitive and the midrange will be less linear.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Less RPM = longer pipe. If the pipe is too long, the boost of the
pipe will be limited, and the engine will be very "friendly".</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anywhere between 25-27" should work, best length will depend on prop
and flying style.</DIV>
<DIV><BR>Regards,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>I am still flying the 145 blackhead too. I use the Hatori/os140
pipe with the macs header. The first reflector is set at 24inches
from the plug, straight line. I don't know how the Asano is setup inside
so use the first reflector distance as a good place to start.</DIV>

<DIV>Hello guys,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would like to know the tuning lengths that you all are running
with the Webra 1.45. I have the blackhead version and am running an
Asano pipe. I was running the flex header combo with it, but it broke
and really didn't seem that it was tuned as well as it could be, as it
was a pretuned system. Any input is greatly appreciated.</DIV>
