Didn't know they made a V4, last I knew of was a V3. In any case, I've never seen a bad pipe from them... so I'm sure its great.

A friend of mine has it on his 29cc ksrc02, pretty decent pipe, not nearly as loud as my rear dom on my 29cc cy. His still has some of a low end bog, but thats mainly becuase the engine is fairly new. Very good quality, very well protected, he did have a few rubbing cage issues but thats easily fixed with some aluminum tape.

The Jet Pro 4 looks like it would hold up a WHOLE lot better then most other rear pipes! Most rear pipes have VERY little protection if any. [X(]

If anything, I say give it a try.

Or, if you are willing to wait and go with the stock mini-ram-horn SS pipe for now, wait until LunaTic to run it on a dyno on a 26cc CY.

The only problem with this pipe is it is a track pipe and is mostly a mid range pipe. I am going to run the stock can for now as I am considering selling my SS pipe to put towards another pipe and would get a lot more for it if I do not run it.

1/5 scale pipes are a WHOLE lot more expensive then most 1/8 or I would buy 2 or 3 and try them and run what I like best. At the price of 1/5 scale pipes I need something that is well protected. [X(] I all ready have over $1,700 in my 5B SS and have not run it. But I hope to complete phase one next week.
