Default Good canisters or pipes for a 3w 157

I'm wondering what would be a good setup for my 3W 157(as for as canisters)? Would the grieves pipes work for this engine? They will be installed in my 150cc aeroworks extra 260.

Unforunately, all of the 3W cans exit in the front. If you want to use 3W cans (L80), you will have to modify the plane. You can try thr MTW TDH100 or KS 89 cans. There are probably others, but what I have listed should work.

The best and only canister is the standard Pefa , I think its called
the L90 but check their site and it should be listed .

If you choose to go down the path of non std exhaust remember
a lot of people have tried and most have failed .

I would go with the lv80 or the lv80k. The diffrance is the lv80 is 70m in wide and longer the lv80k
Is 85M and not as long. I Like the lv80k cause it gives you a little more low end torque.

Can't remember which version of the Pefa's I got. I could dig up the reciept but that might take some time. But I really like them and my plane is outstanding.

I'm ready to go to a bigger prop or most likely a 3 Blade as my engine is breaking in nicely and continouly rips my Mejlik 32-10 at about 3/4 throttle

I have the same problem , have a go at the 32 x 12 . The Yaks tend not to
like a three blabe as much as the two . I have flown with the 28.5 and 30 x 12
three bladers and the 32 x 12 is quieter than both and pulls about the same .

One of my mates call it the MOOO prop , hit the gas and MOOOOO . No rip
what so ever but the sound takes a bit of getting used to . If you can manage
the throttle the 32 x 10 two blaber is still the best though .
