Default Upgrade pipe... which one?

I want you guys input on buying a new pipe for my LST. I trying to decide between the O.S. T-2050, Jammin JP1 or the Jammin JP2. Which ever pipe I get will go on my Mach .26 and then will later be used on my RB Concept .28 Another question, any opinions of using the Sportwerks carb on the RB engine or stick with the one it comes with? Thanks for you input in advance.

JP-1 is the best pipe for this engine. I don't have any experience with the Sportwerks carb on anything other than my Mach .26.

Given RBs reputation, I doubt there is anything wrong with there carb. If your going to get the RB .28, why not visit their site to find out which one they recomend for that engine. If your going to spend that kind of money on performance don't cut corners. If your going to go for it , go all the way or don't bother, one great man I know once said.

I aggree. I went to RB Concepts website and I was lucky enough to find a seller on eBay that had the RB Concept pipe for the same price I was going to pay for either Jammin pipe. I only paid $66.00 shipped for the RB pipe, BRAND NEW!! I might add.

e-normus-1 -- what clutch shoes and springs are you using on your LST with the RB 28?

I haven't put it in yet. When I do I will try the Werks power clutch that I am using with my Mach .26 and then go from there.

Thanks. I would say the "HR" logo is semi-permanent. It can be scrapped/filed off. It would have been cool if they had engraved it on the shock body.

I beat on it but I use the stock body for that and I try to clean it up after I run it.
