Changing The Exhaust

[Too Tall]

I am new to the nitro rc scene and I was wondering, if I were to add about 8 inches of tubing onto the end of the exhaust pipe, would that affect the engine? I realize that it would be extending the pipe quite a bit but would it change how the engine ran or anything like that? Thanks in advance!

first off welcome to the forum my friend!! secondly are u meaning putting the tubing on the end to help prevent all the fuel-oil from splattering all over your truck? ... if so i have a silicone exhaust deflector and have used it without much "if any" difference to how it runs..... and did help a bit for stopping a bit of the gunk i guess but have since lowered my x more so it would have been dragging almost so I'm not using it at the moment lol

Yes that's what I meant! Sorry for not being clear! And thank you for the welcome!

ya as long as it wasnt to long it would be fine as the ones that u buy work fine...... and there only like $5.00..

Welcome to the forum! I have used the deflector also and the only difference I noticed was the engine needed to be leaned out because the defelcetor increased the back pressure.
