<DIV>I think when it comes between the aeroslave and the ES pipe, it's
personal preference. With some notable but subtle differences.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Here's what I noticed:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The ES 2C140M80 pipe I use is 3.2 ozs, the Aeroslave is right at 3 ozs.
it's pretty much a wash.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The transition is bit little smoother on the ES. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Aeroslave pipe gives about 100 rpm more on the top end. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>(both above using standard length header, no cutting and tuning). </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Aeroslave costs less, but has been difficult to get in the past. I
believe that may no longer be an issue. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The ES is much more easy on the eyes.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Aeroslave is physically smaller, and could fit better in tight
installations. I've found this to be true on a few applications.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The ES (for me) has proven very very durable. I've never worn one out,
ever. I have one with almost 2000 flights on it. It was involved in a crash
before I got it, The airplane was completely destroyed, head in full
speed...the pipe wasn't scratched. It only had about 50 flights before the
crash.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also Ed Skorepa has been very good to me service and price-wise, so I
suppose there's some loyalty involved. Lance has also been great to me, and so
I also am running an Aeroslave in my older Black Magic prototype now. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So, I run both. The ES is more "bling" and a little smoother, the
Aeroslave is more business-like and stronger on the top end but stumbles just
a tad in the mid range. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'd run either in a heartbeat. I just slightly prefer the ES for my newer
stuff. You can't go wrong with either.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Or should we spark up a rivalry like OS vs YS, JR vs Futaba, Composite vs
wood, etc? That could be entertaining =)</DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I've run most of the pipes available in the past couple years on both
the OS (RX and EFI) and Webra (145 and 160). The "best" pipe depends
on how you prioritize power, throttle response, noise, weight, and
price. If I needed to buy a pipe today, I'd go with the Aeroslave as I
believe it is best or very close to best in all the categories I
listed.</DIV>
