I want to add smoke to my dla 112 motor. do i need a set of smoke mufflers? or will it work to just drill and tap to add a nipple into the current muffler. Do you need to add it to both mufflers or just one? does the oil need to be pre heated or just dropped straight in?
thanks

Drill and tap for nipples. No preheating...gas mufflers get plenty hot.

It works better if you have coils to preheat...

As in something like a copper coil inside or outside the muffler ?

Copper/Brass will eventually crack and break with the vibration. Stainless works the best.

gas is so hot that the oil evaporate when you first start the muff... (still best to wait a minute... ) just tap, nipple, and go direct! good luck!

on both mufflers? and run a T split into them?

Especially with an engine this size. The bigger the engine, the more heat available to make smoke.

Check out our mufflers on our website www.taildraggerrc.com I sell a pair that will fit your engine

as soon as i flipped my prop, the over flow immediatly started to smoke, full throttle burned it all off and i was smokin right from the start! but its still good to wait a minute before though just something i like to do!
