Status: offline 		I vote for the rdlogics turbo II pipe or the Vantage carbon pipe the one with the thicker stinger (very very durable but pricey). I have the Rdlogics pipe myself but id rather have the vantage one anyday. Mine has scratches underneath the pipe, not noticable but the wheel flicks debris into it

btw the THS one and the rdlogics non turbo legal pipe for rs4-3 are the same thing.

Status: offline 		All 3 from towerhobbies. except the rdlogics pipe youll have to get the THS one jonsmilez just posted from towerhobbies. THS and RDlogics non turbo legal pipe is exactly the same. So unless you want the turbo one, youd have to stay with the THS pipe

I'm not that experienced with pipes, but my tsais rear pipe actually made a huge performance difference on my 18SS.

Status: offline 		hinder performance as opposed to a normal side exhaust pipe, the way the exhaust header enters the pipe is at a 90 degree angle so the energy cannot be used as efficiently, sure they will make a small increase over stock, but this could also be to using very long pressure line which provides slightly less presure and runs a tiny bit leaner (more power) i have heard some people say this that ahve the pipes, dont remember who though
