| Hi,
I'm running a millenium pipe on a Hawk SE OS32SX.
But, It was like that when I bought it used. So I have no idea whether or not there's a gasket, the header has never come loose on me. Mine leaks too, but it takes a couple days to leak. So I just put the heli on a stack of old newspaper when I'm not using it.
I had problems with the rubber interface and pipe coming loose, but that was fixed with a cheap aftermarket tuned pipe coupler usually used to rc cars. The old rubber interface was old and rotting out.
What else? The pipe puts out alot of power compared to the century mufflers. Needle settings were about the same, 4 clicks richer on high speed, low speed was 1 turn richer. I really like the pipe as it really gives that little extra boost of power that's needed, however I can't compare it to other pipes.
I didn't have any problems about lagging power (compared to OS32 with century muffler). BUT, there definitely is a point when you can hear the pipe kick in, it will literally sing.
As far as the gap goes, I didn't really pay attention to how much gap I have between the header and the tuned pipe. Just make sure you have a gap, otherwise, you will get radio interference.
I usually run a high headspeed this is prolly why I didn't notice the lag in power.
