If some of the Pro's use the JP-4 with the O.S Speed i think we can use it as well
A friend of mine runs the his speed with the the 2060 and he has nothing on me in terms of run time and power, on the other hand i don't have to worry if my pipe is all twisted after a crash, AND i saved 50$ over the 2060! Do the math...

I remember buying my 2060 pipe 1,5 years ago at the price of 40 or 60 pounds. In dollars is somewhere at 100-150 range. A little pricey but is a good pipe anyway. Plus that i can't find any JP pipes in Cyprus. I must order online.

Go ahead and ask yourself, what is a pro? It's a person that is sponsored and most likely runs what they are paid to, do you always buy in to the marketing?

O.S is Making you pay 50$ more for a pipe that has no real advantage over the JP-4...Who's buying into marketing?
A pro is someone who's indeed paid to promote a brand, the best way to promote a brand in the R/C industry is to win races, I think Jammin would allow their sponsored drivers to run the 2060 if it was clearly a better pipe...
besides, the durability of the JP-4 pipe alone justifies buying it over the 2060 imo and if you're losing or winning chances are it's not because of the little difference between the pipes.

Yeah. The 2060 is a better pipe ON THE SPEED one. Don't compare to other engines. We're talking about the speed series.

If the OS 2060 is a pricy pipe, then I think you should try the Dynamite Platinium Pipes.

The TTR 2035 is another pipe to try. Seems to be an alternate to 2050 or 2060 lately.

Yes. This tuned exhaust is specifically designed for the V-Spec SPEED. It brings the V-Spec Speed engine to its fullest potential in all aspects, even significantly longer run times, ive seen run times go up as much as several minutes per tank by switching to the 2060[X(]...[8D]

Having run the 2050,2060 and ttr 2035 on a few speeds i can safely say the 2060 was a dissapointment compared to the other two pipes.I like the 2050 way more than the 2060, it had a lot more bottom end pull.The ttr 2035 is the BEST tho,for about half the price you can have a 2035 and the motor screams with this pipe.So those of you saying teh 2060 is the best pipe from my findings out of the 3 i have tried it is the worst.I know its meant to be a smoother pipe but for the money i paid for the 2060 i could have got a 2035 and some tires!

Oh and i didnt notice a significant run time drop between pipes, the 2060 and 2035 ran almost the same within 5-10 seconds , the 2050 was about 40-45 seconds less run time than the other 2.

Keep in mind, if you need to run an EFRA or 3 chamber pipe, only the 2060 and TTR 2035 are approved. And yes, the TTR 2035 is way cheaper.

Farfa - You want a review, Ill give you one. I have the V-SPEC with a 2060 pipe. The break in was easy. Aside from the low idle on tank number 1, I stalled only once during the whole breakin process. On the track, the engine has heaps of power. In some instances too much. Throttle control takes care of that. It tunes very easy, and stays in tune. I get great run times with it as well. I am extremely happy with it and so far have nothing to say but good things about it. If you have the V-SPEC and the 2060 pipe, you have made a GOOD choice. You will not regret it. However.........................if you have the "best" buggy on the market, fastest most powerful engine, have it set up the best as possible, etc., etc., etc., but you cannot drive it, you will not do well. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE will make the difference. Not an engine that has 5,000 more RPMS. Not a pipe that give you more horse power and longer run times. DrRiving skills is what sets good performers and bad performers apart. That is a fact. Good luck, you made a wise choice.

From "However..........." on pretty much sums it up for me.

Farfa - If you ask whats the best buggy, the best engine, the best fuel, the best tires, etc., you will get 20 different answers for each. Get what YOU want and can afford. Learn how to repair it, learn how to drive it. There are so many hop up parts out there for buggies that you can do whatever you want to it. You will enjoy owning a buggy. This class has been the most fun for me to race in.
