    Lazoj,....I had a show to go do last night so I couldn't mess with it,thats all I've wanted to do since I got the parts but the chassis thing slowed me down and Tiger Woods 2003 has taken a good chunk of time.I'll get it done this weekend and get some pics up and hopefully run it.Have fun guys.

    Status: offline     		OK, everyone I just figured out this HTML stuff so now I have better pics in my gallery. I'd put them here but I don't want to fill up a whole page on this thread. I've heard and read all the mixed reviews on this dual exhaust kit and I'll say it works excellent for me. I would recommend it to anyone. But since I don't have any "real specs" on it , all I can say is that performance was enhanced a bit and it is loud (seems to have the neighbors popping their heads out the window), and it looks cool when I jump on the throttle( smoke out the back). A definite head turner. But hey, use what you want. Each has its preferences. If I set it rich enough, think I get it to make a smoke screen and oil slicks like the old Spyhunter game? :

    Status: offline     		Not really, rex, I guess it depends on the amount of compression, I don't know. I don't get anymore oil than what I got from the tuned pipe from HPI.

    Status: offline     		I DID notice a performance increase! I have more torque and a little more top end. This is probably the most noticeable performance upgrade I've purchased for this car, besides the two speed and carb.

    Status: offline     		I don't know. I've never heard that one before. Someone must have had a problem with their tuning and blamed the exhaust. It's possible I guess. I had to tune a little different when I put it on. Not much though.

    If you still need more speed, use a Picco or Novarossi rear exhaust engine. If you still need more speed, go get a V8, 32 valve, supercharged engine.

    From what i read the oil can build up in the pipe and it will turn into sludge and cause flow and back pressure problems.

    Status: offline     		I could see the dirt in the oil doing it but it just sounded a little wierd because of all the oil in the fuel and we drop after run oil in the carb all the time.Seems like the more oil the better on these engines so I just wondered.
    Does anyone have the Hot Bodies A-Arms?What the hell did they thread those at and what did you use for balls?I can push the screw in the threaded hole so its not gonna work unless I get the right size stuff....wish they would mentin that on the tower hobbies site or something.
