My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Can any one confirm if we are being stung by OS as ive paid twice the price for what these sell for and before I buy a second it would be nice to know .

Looks the same , can any one confirm if the OS power pipe is made by them or a rebadged funtech.

Detailed Description
A395 FunTech 50 3D Muffler
The perfect match for the new OS55 power house and much cheaper than any comparable muffler.


I dunno but at 82 bucks alot cheaper than the OS version and looks identical.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Yes, but the Etching O.S. PowerBoost is much nicer than the plain Funtech Etching. You know the O.S. Pipe is going to give your heli a PowerBoost it says so right on the pipe and that is worth the extra money right there. That's why I got one! That and I did not know about the Funtech when I bought the PowerBoost.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		it stands to reason that if that funtech pipe works the exact same as th epowerboost then the other normal 50 size mufflers will work just the same. i just ordered an OS55 but i'm not changing pipes.

cheers

The new pipes for the 55 and 56 have more volume than the sab 50.It will run with the sab 50 but it wont get max power like it would with the sab55

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		do you truly believe these pipes are anything more than a marketing gimmick? OS could have got a pipe custom made for the 55HZ.......yet they choose not to. ummmmmmmmmmmm read into that what you will.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I dont see how much more power it could have I'm running the Outrage HR50 pipe and the engine is incredible.

the testing for it was done with an Align just ask Bert K. and it was sick on the Align as well.

My guess is the SAB 55 is much better than the OS pipe.What you dont get is the pilot is sponsered by OS they have to use their products whether is perfoms better or not. Align likes their pilot to use their products.like blades i know burt likes V blades but has to use align.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		no, i do get it. perhaps you don't.

the above guy is not sponsored and says the funtech and OS pipes perform the same. so it's reasonable to assume that the other 50 size pipes will be no different. please go ahead and prove me wrong. my own 55 will be furnished with the TT53 pipe (which is better than the hatori 522 i did have fwiw) and i may change to the hatori 566 at a later date as i like hatori pipes.

cheers
