yep, that's what it looks like to me

There ya go

The extra length with the square headers makes a huge difference, square headers actually work great on the low end based pipes ;)

Thanks for the clarification paul

Being that the Bonito is my about favorite engine it means that I also have a massive amount of experience with the engine... It is my general observation that the shorter the manifold you put on the engine, the more powerful it becomes... The longer the manifold you put on the engine the more mellower it becomes.....The short manifolds not only greatly increase the top end, they also increase the bottom end as well as the throttle response.... Want to make a Bonito feel lazy ? then put a long curved manifold on it, that will tone it down big time...want to make a Bonito really bark ? then put a short manifold on it.......its really that simple..... I also find the double 90 degree style headers have better throttle response and crispness on the trigger, which for many is preferred over the mellower feel of the curved manifolds......Now I run on a track with ultra high traction with very short technical jumps, so we usually need as much bottom end as we can find, which means I wouldn't be running a combo if it didn't have strong bottom end as our track will murder you if you don't have a super strong low end...

In the end its all about what the racer feels works best for him/her

So true, but it is always good to go to a track with multiple different pipes and manifolds and then also have an idea what might work the best.

I have sucked in so much information from this forum, my brain is imploding. LOL

Thanks to all, for all of your generous inputs on pipes and manifolds.

Is this the newest Novarossi C6TGC plug?

Been getting those blue packets in OZ for a while now 12 months to be exact.

Yes they are Bjarne

Everything you mention in your post is exactly what I have been experiencing with the 9901/41021 very frustrating! I just put on the 41001 header last night, can't wait to try it! Thanks for the tip!

Nice. Thanks Blade and Houston :)

Has anyone tried the 2096 with the 41001 header ?

+1 will it work better in a roma than 2096/41021

Congrats to novarossi!! WORLD CHAMPS!!!!!

That's what I run in my CRE BTT currently. That header will wake up the pipe for sure, but not as dramatic as the 9886.

One Nova in the final and it got first. Nuff said.
