That's tough if you figure how to make an unpiped engine go faster HB~>

Actually tuned pipes are not mandatory but some sort of muffler is and the pipe qualifies.  There is a maximum outlet size required however.  I don't have the size available right off hand.  It's in the FAI rules.

A scale racer would need to fit the surface area and loading requirements and have proper lines and handle with cross bar of course.

The FAI Sporting Code for F2A requires a "silencer" with a minimum internal volume of 50cc.
