Steve,
 
With proper exhaust port timing and setup with a good pipe you will
loose that bet. My bet is that you will gain closer to 20% improvement
in power, of course with more power comes a higher fuel consumption
as well. Most engines are very conservatively ported in the exhaust
timing to run on a muffler as well as on a pipe. Just an other compromise
by the manufacturers.

Mintor 140 article, how does it run on a muffler as
opposed to a pipe. I would expect some loss in power
but also a loss in cost.

 I don't use pipes on any on mine engines Jeff Hughes and I have been using the Bolly 590r which is a muffler, no tuning head aches, no midrange problems, if you change props, fuel or anything else NON PROBLEMS, I have been running the Mintor 140 with it and it runs super, don't know how much less power you get from just running a muffler but I'd bet it's not over 5%, I use Coolpower 15% fuel.
