The DDM's Dominator pipe would be a nice touch , i run the jetpro V2 pipe on my MB . and the DDm's finish looks real nice you can run any pipe that mounts on a marder . Samba, Fg tuned LB , Jetpro , DDM .
Good luck with your search .

If looks is a main concern, look at the x-can. It will give you more performance, and it is all concealed in the body. I only know one person the has a FH, and that is what he runs.

Ok thanks fella's, i don't mind it not being concealed, just stream lined as
functionally possible.

I have the Jetpro and love it.
But for looks.. the DDM pipe.
Nothing wrong with the Jetpro, just the DDM looks very smooth.

From what everyone say's the Jetpro has more top end to it, but the DDM is no slacker in that area either it's really good all around actually and as teamchrome said it is very smooth, unlike them bubblegum welds on the Jetpro's

Is the white peice a coupler of some sort? If so, why not make a one peice pipe. I would want a one peice pipe, that is just another week link for something to happen, if it is a two peice pipe.
Who makes that pipe?

I think a 2 pc is the way to go. 2 resons:

1. If you had a bad accident then there's some give rather that tearing or breaking it.
2. When you are working on the truck/buggy removal is easy as well as when you need to remove the engine.

The Jetpro is a very good pipe performance wise but the looks and finsh
need to be more refined. [8D]

I had an older Samba on my Marder/MB/MT. It had a very small header and the pipe seemed to be thicker that the ones now. Let me say it was loads better than the 3pc FG and when I ran it with the MT wheels the sucker felt like it had a 2 speed in it. I was glad I had full cable discs on it!! I think 88vette in Calgary still has it, and he's still very happy with it.

Hey radio, does the samba come in the silenced version and does it offer the same performance
as say a jet-pro or ddm ? was kinda leaning towards the jet-pro, but i also want the pipe to look
good on the firehammer, i know you can't always have it all, but hey why not try !

I have the Jet Pro silenced version on my firehammer and it looks and sounds great. Not too loud and not to quiet. It made a huge difference over the stock piece of crap muffler. I also have the Jet Pro v3 silenced on my Baja and love it too. IMHO you cant go wrong with the Jet Pro....
