Please order a bigger pipe, a stock pipe isn't enough, will cause high temp to a K-80.

3/4 inch away from the bell mouth will be just fine. Also, you might want to dial down the peak RPM to say 139,000 for the little 16, in which case your original pipe should be fine but do monitor EGT on the ground.
Good Luck,

I'm sorry, my choice of words gave you the im[pression that what I have is a Cermark F-16, but no, what I have is a FEJ F-16, the reason for my original question is because I wanted to use the cermark pipe to save some weight, but based on your replies I will go with the FEJ pipe
