  • What muffler do you recommend

    Hi all - I am thinking of buying an OS sx hyper 50 for my Raptor 50se and don't know what pipe to get to go with it?
    I'm only sport flying, nothing demanding.
    I did see this one
    TTPV0109 | High Performance Muffler - Raptor 50
    but thought I'd better ask for you guidance.

    Many thanks
    Dave.

    I have used that pipe and I thought at the time it worked very well. Over time I have tried a bunch of pipes and generally my goal was to find the quietest rather than max power. If memory serves that TT pipe was fairly similar in noise level and power to the CY MP2 but it has been a while. Basically there are quite a few that work just fine. I think the TT one is fairly light as well. The one I thought was the quietest is the big Zimmerman. Hatori is also good but can be expensive. I have an Outrage pipe on my Knight 3D with an OS50 Hyper and it's working great but some folks have reported the baffles coming loose in the Outrage pipes.

      Dave, i normally don't recommend align products but the align pipe is about as good as it gets for value for money. Perhaps not the quietest pipe but at £50 it's difficult not to look at this one.

      OS powerboost and hatori or Zimmermann will be better mufflers but will be twice the price of the align.
      Happy Flying! Thanks - Dave

          I was quite happy with my S.50's but eventually moved to the .55 which certainly has more power. But there's a good chance you'll burn up an engine or two so for beginner/sprts flying no rush to spend out. If I was goign ove rmy time again then I'd serosuly consider Just engines .52 on cost and convenience with their pipe A.S.P.
          On the few ocassions I've contacted them they've been very frendly and helpful

                Hi Dave - yes there are good pipes, I have got one on my Raptor 50. I am looking to buy new os for the Raptor then I will put the other one in a E-Qly vision 50.
                The Red line is a bit much for me at this time cos I've got lots of other bit to get. But thanks all the same. :-)
