Actually, I think you're right.
Now, how did he get the engine over so far without fouling the top plate?
Maybe the tank is moved further forward?

What's that alloy bar across the top of the top deck above the throttle servo?

Dunno, but I presume it's sorted with the throttle servo setup.

Manifold is a mild conical shape that starts at 13mm at the engine end, and gradualy widens to 14mm at the pipes end.
I will do tests on Friday against RB E1751-193402 pipe, and against Sirio S12-200006 pipe.
Let you know on Monday after the race my conclusions.

Well, I had a fairly good race yesterday. I made a 5th place overall considering I had some trouble with my transponder failing erraticly on the final.
The Mugen pipe worked well, it gave me more top end than the other pipes, but i think I should've geared my car differently to keep pace of the leaders. Overall it is a very complete pipe, definetly worth the investment. The other driver on the track with a Sirio engine had an RD Logics Turbo II pipe, and I outruned him on the main straight permanently, and kept a 5 car lead on him during the total final heat.

Thanks, Alfonso, for the feedback...
I'm just buying this pipe as this weekend I got one pipe de-stingered and another one completely destroyed... This happnes when you are no used to race in a specific championship and you have to qualify with the worst drivers...
Now my report:
Raced this weekend in a track I love the most... I feel very bad knowing the worlds could be on this track but will be on a worse onw...
In my first qualifying i had problems with gearing as I was breaking in the engine... In my best Qual the throttle servo screwed me up...
BTW - I'LL HAVE TO BUY 2 NEW SERVOS FOR THE WORLDS... STICKING WITH ANALOG ONES, WHAT DO YOU GUYS RECOMMEND?
During the main, we were 3 drivers turning the same lap times for 5 minutes... I was in second, there was always only 1 meter between each car... Then the third guy flipped over, and the first one got radio problems... So I got the lead.. and about 5 minutes before the end I was about 2 laps in front of the second place friver, my wheel came off in the furthermost point of the track... It cost me a 1:25m lap... sixth place for me...
But the car was amazing and I made the best lap of the race...

BTW- YOU GUYS USE THREAD LOCK ON YOUR WHEEL NUTS? I had probelms in the past with thread lock melting serpent wheels... what about Mugen Wheels?
Wondering if I am going to meet any of you guys in the worlds next month...
Take a look at the drivers listing
In Brazil they sorted the drivers in the listing after the Nationals results...
damn... what a long post... hope you guys dont feel bored...
