7"-7-1/4"

I would start with 7"

On my OS .18 TZ I shortened the 21S pipe to 6,5" B)

What kind of boat? I run mine about 4 in, horizontal from the center of the engine, back to the widest point... I don't like measuring around the curve..

Krusty,

Is this a side or rear exhaust and what pipe are you using?

Hey there Andrew. I've got a Lil Rascal that I've been slooooooooooooooooowly building as well. I started off building it with my daughter so its really her boat. She is eager for me to finish it and I'll have it wet this summer. The construction is done and I've got two .15 engines for it: Dynamite .15 (Miss Bud engine) and an HPI .15FE watercooled. I've also got a Hobbico muffled tuned pipe. I've got a Joe Solinger rudder and strut assembly for it as well. What a beautiful piece of aluminum hardware!

I'm glad you posted this thread because this info is what I'm going to be needing real soon as well. Let us know how your boat runs when you get it wet. I'll be posting about mine later this summer. I've got 5 boats that I'm currently working on right now! 3 brand new and 2 rebuilds and all of them should be in the water this summer !
