Mintor Review

[Lance Van Nostrand]

This may be your wish, but it might not be completely true, Steve.  I don't know the internals of the 590r, so if it is a glass pack or perf tube then I buy your statement.  However if it has baffles then there must be some fixed distance between the exhaust and the first baffle, meaning incorrect header length will cause a negative effect.

   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.
