This is an RC-scale exhaust header pipe fixing spring built to retain an exhaust header at the pipe flange throughout assembly and setup. The part functions as a retention clip, holding the header steady while you position, tune, or test the exhaust layout on nitro or tuned RC models.
Installation is direct: identify the mating groove on the header or pipe, seat the spring over the joint, compress it until it engages the groove and confirm the header is properly seated and stable. Reinspect the spring after a few sessions to confirm it still holds tension and has not distorted under heat or vibration.
Within tuning and maintenance routines the spring's role is basic mechanical retention, helping maintain exhaust alignment during runs and simplifying the process of removing and reattaching the header when adjusting pipe length or manifold angle.
