macs 1329 pipe

[anthony scardina]

I have a brand new uncut 1329, looking to use it in my speed master 20 mono with a MAC 21 engine. Any ideas on how this pipe may perform before I cut the pipe? Or should I just bite the bullet and get an OPS 3280?

I have tried it, you will be happier with the 3280.

OPS 3280 or the NR21 Carbon fiber Pipe is a beast on Mac 21 ;-)

Bite the bullet and buy a cmb pipe

I have that pipe on my seducer sd1, and I love it!!! I have it on an older model OS RZM 21. it runs right along with a friend of mine in our club who has a MAC 21 with cooper pipe in a speed master hull. I run mine at 8 and 5/8 inches. don't cut the pipe. Swedge it. I used a tool that ac guys use. it expands the inside diameter of copper tubing. I used this on my pipe. now I slide my manifold into pipe and I can change pipe length when I need to, like when i change props. works great. great pipe for the money. works for me. they are loud. so if you don't like loud then don't use it. but loud is good. because when you are racing you can monitor how your engine is running. you are not out anything, because they don't cost much

Jim,

Loud is not good ponds are lost beacouse of loud and makes it hard for those of us who are not loud hear are boats

Well let me reword that. I am not a fan of loud. I am a fan of what makes my boat run. the point I was making is that it is a loud pipe. and the positive of the draw back is that you can hear your boat well. anyway if people don't like seeing others have fun they will complain about the noise the quietest of boats make. people find all kinds of excuses to kick you off a pond. for example, the pond we raced on many years ago band combustion engine models because they where unclean and destroying the environment. it is now a bird sanctuary. so the lesson here is to not race your boats in a populated area, or where you will disturb the peace of others. oh ya, the MAC pipe preforms well. good pipe for the money.

the OPS 3280 is a great pipe too. I never got to try the nr carbon fiber pipe yet. I do here it is a real hit,
