Default Tuned pipe ?? & muffler.



I am moving along on the 6...48" roundnose hydros.
Homelite 25 cc stock.
Can I just do a "Mickey Mouse" tuned pipe & water cooled header that dumps into the exhaust pipe to kill the BRAAAPP ?
Header dia. ? Straight length of tuned pipe. Length & diameter ? Have a place with a MIG welder.
Then dump the header water into the last of the exhaust pipe.

Thanks for the post.
I have no bats available.
Have to go the automotive tuned exhaust pipe lengths & then dump the water in if possible. RC race cars have dry tuned exhausts. Maybe be cheaper & better.

Hey Cyclops,

How are the Supertest builds going? Have any pictures to post yet? As for the exhaust you have many options. Warehouse hobbies sells a water cooled canister muffler, and a wet tuned exhaust. As you know the canister won't look as good as the under deck tuned exhaust, but it is a cheaper option. Take care,

Scott

I am finished with a load of gardening and now putting on the bottom skins. Not bad. Will spend a extra dollar on better skins for the decks.
Thanks for the pipe sites.
