Default Which tuned pipe for Leopard Race?

I have a Leopard Race that now runs with the standard pibe.

But as the standard pipe is cracking, I need a new one.
I really wanted the RN Tuning for the Leopard Race, but that one is still far out in the future....(according to Mail received today from Rinus Visser at RN Tuning)

I am running a 29cc with a mild port job (Daves Discount Motors 29cc race ported head kit [35 mm bore + 2mm stroker crank]).

Which pipe will give me the best power over the entire rev. range with that engine?

The pipes I have found to select between are:

FG's original Leopard Race pipe
FG's Pluggable 3 chamber Leopard Race Pipe
Mielke Masterfix Leopard Race Edition
Samba 3 Leopard Race Edition
Top Scale Tuning Top3 Mini360.

Other options?

At the moment, price doesn't matter. Power matters more.

good that jetpro are making another option but not keen on the pipe touching the bellypan & abit to close to the receiver box.i think the stock tuned pipes are ok,then theres the obvious pipes like samba.

The jetpro I dislike as it puts even more weight to the front.
The best is more weight to the back, actually the pipe should go to the rear on the Leopard for a better balance in the car.

As for the bling-bling... you can comb your hair in it

The jetpro I personally dislike, as this version puts even more weight to the front.
The best would be more weight to the back, actually the pipe should go to the rear on the Leopard for a better balance in the air and most important: more traction on the rear wheels for faster acceleration.
