Default Best pipe?

First off Hello to all, I am new to this site/ forum. I have a question reguarding the pipe for my savage. I have a new Axial .28 not installed yet. what pipe should I use? The whole truck is stock, its just a basher. Do I use the factory plastic pipe or do I get a new one? And if so, which one? Thanks.

The hot bodies tuned pipe works very well with that motor. But I also vote BUKU. Ax is working on its own pipe for it also but not out yet. Also I am referring to the spec 1

I have two savages One is my sons which is the .21 savage and then mine which is .28 axial . i love the buku pipes and that pipe is on my sons .21 to give hime a lil more edge ! I have put it on my truck to see what it would do and it is insane !! Alot of guys in our group use the pipe and race with it ! again it is not roar sectioned due to the moving parts but alot of tracks dont care nor go by roar ! We are a true monster truck racing group and we do side by side racing and sled pulling so I have my son's savage set up for more lower end then anything !But my money would go to Dave at Buku before anywhere else ! Oh and this came straight from John S. from HPI that the ribbed pipe hurts the performance of your motor ! it sounds great but does nothing to help performance wise ! the straight polished pipe from hpi is the best bet for a stock pipe ! that is what Im running on my axial at the time till I can get the buku for my truck!

The buku actually is pretty quiet, its quieter than the HPI Polished exhaust.
