ddm Dom V1 VS Dom V2 PIPE 5B
Im thinking about buying this version of pipe but unsure about which is better , firstly i dont like two piece pipes cos they leak black fuel oil all over the backend of the baja5b . Are both these pipes the exact same size ? and which one would perform better , i think the header shape and diameter size on the v2 is larger and better than the v1 .

the 2 piece wont leak is you have a big silicon coupler slipped over the joint sleeve...i got 2 VRC propipes and neither leak at the joint...also 2 piece is nice cos it allows a bit of flex and the manifold bolts stay tight..i found with 1 piece jetpros and doms the mani bolts constantly come loose cos of the engine vibration...here's the coupler on the VRC
without the silicon tube
and with......zip tie to cinch it down nicely and it doesn't leak at all

anyway. i'm with moo on this one, with a silicone tube it shouldn't leak. and now ddm is offering a new tube with there pipes. they just sent me one for free, as a replacement one for the old style that wore out on me. either way, both pipes are great. i think the v2 has alittle more top end though

DDM's pipe isn't what it's claimed, their v2 of the pipe is the EXACT concept I told them about, so if anyone stole anything it's DDM stealing.

Clubin once you run that VRC pro you'll run nothing else...best pipe money can buy..period..nothing else comes within a country mile for the torque, HP and revs the pro gives...and it'd spoil the look if you chromed it + the heat dispersal properties...made from 4140 so wont rust either.
splcrazy i'd wait...email Sean at OBR...he's the man who is responsible for the VRC pro series being made so will know when they're due out

RE: ddm Dom V1 VS Dom V2 PIPE 5B
yeah thats fine if you guys tested or have opinions on any other brand of exhaust pipe lets hear it , i dont mind if its not the topic . Yeah the VRC is a pipe that i keep going back to the web page and keep looking at it lol ahh well i might just have to wait till it comes out , but it looks exactly like the vrc sidemount that is available right now , so i dont know the vrc pipe designed for the TS engine must have a bigger header outlet diameter or something ?.
