<DIV>Ed Skorepa makes a gas version of his CF pipes. It's a little
different internally, nothing drastic though. Here's his answer to my
question when I bought the ES40G pipe:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>"The main difference is in tail piece. It has
bigger DIA stinger and it is made from two pieces instead of one. It's what I
call reversed flow pipe. Also, the first baffle is in different location and
holes are slightly bigger."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anyway, the sound in the air is very nice. It is very quiet and
indistinguishable from a 2C glow (except that the throttle response is better).
I imagine that you could use other CF pipes if their manufacturer tells you that
the resin used will handle the higher temperatures. To the best of my
knowledge, the Skorepa pipes for glow use the same materials and would probably
be OK in a gas application. However, he made changes for gas for a reason,
and he is pretty much the master at this as far as I know. Must be that it
handles better.</DIV>

<DIV>How about sound? Are we able to use the existing carbon fiber pipes
available now like the Aeroslave and ES pipes with the gasoline engines? Or
are specially made pipes required?</DIV>

face=Arial>Correct. However, fuel cost would make a difference if we
could use gasoline. After my experience, I don't think gasoline
engines available in that time were viable option for pattern for
higher classes. However, it could work for lower classes. I am
not sure what gasoline engines manufacturers are offering to increase
power today. Gasoline engines for sure are more reliable in the low
run than glow engines. Another issue, vibration of gasoline
engines requires special attention but is similar to the situation we
have when using glow engines.
