Default On Road Tuned Pipe Advise

I am building up an evo competition and am at the point of thinking about a pipe. Can anyone tell me if the oneil on road pipe works ok. They seem to have two styles for on road, up and over which is quite high and probably won't fit under the porsche carrera GT body that I have coming, plus seems like a high CG.

Or the long one that sweeps down the left side, over to the right side in front of the servos and back towards the middle of the car, hopefully not to close to the body. Looks cool but big...weight? and seems it would generate heat right in the front area of the car blowing back over servos and gas tank.

How would the FG, Samba, Oneil Bros pipes stack up against each other on an onroad car.

Thanks Guys

Thanks for that, according to the Fg catalogue it won't fit under any GT bodies, pity looks great, how does it compare to others.

Here is the Samba 5 pipe mounted to the FG Evo car. This car and pipe finished 3rd in the ROAR 1/5th scale USA Nationals. This performance pipe will fit under the Carerra body.
