No doubt inspired by the pioneering design of Novarossi, Team Titan have released their own exhaust gas cooler. 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.
