How much weight are you trying to save?
It's true that the OS muffler is quite heavy but if you do not need to reduce the weight to the full extent of the tongue muffler, I suggest the Randy Smith tube muffler is worth a try.
I have an ARF Cardinal that has an FP 40 that is a gem. It has a 6.75mm ID OS venturi, Bob Zambelli hemi head and the Randy Smith muffler with no other modifications.
It draws positive comments for the engin runs whenever I take the model out.
