Ricer!

Actually, I bet it would look pretty good with the body on. I can't say much for the performance, though - the stinger length and diameter are fairly critical components to the performance of the pipe, and by adding all that length on there you've modified the tuning point considerably. Probably by strengthening the bottom end at the expense of top end power...

Take off that reducer or chrome tail pipe if you would and you should be OK

Actually that tail pipe looks to me to be the same diameter as the copper, if not even the same material, but tinned. Mayhap I'm wrong on the construction, but I think I'm right about the size.

I was(and still) going to make a custom exhaust for my tremor. I just haven't had the time. I'm shooting for dual exhaust.
Looks great though!

ya i actually ghetto rigged a dual exhaust on my volcano. i just used some fuel line (1/1 scale) and put is out my bumper so its perfect when the body is on. the performance was weird, i only had 1/2 tank of fuel left (gotta buy some more). But i think i might need some thicker tube so there is more flow. it sounds weird for sure. I have a question though, is it bad to put the stinger pointing up, is it bad for the oil not to be able to get out or whatever. like on justins basically, could that be bad? and would it be bad to have my tubing to point up like "stacks"

the oil does come out a little right at where the muffler meets the copper, but its also way to loose there it keeps poping off so going to try so different things on it today!! other than that might drill a small hole in the bottom of muffler to let it drip but i don't think i have that much oil coming out really, or just hold it up side down and gas it to clean it out
