This version uses brass ends for better heatsinking of the exhaust gas, one of which is threaded and can be opened for internal cleaning without the need for a tool. Deep cut aluminium is the most efficient way to cool down the gas going back to the fuel tank, helping to get better run time for your 1/8 and 1/10 scale gas car.
