Had a little too much fun with the mt2 today.. was trying to drag race against my friends t-maxx again but this time I lost it... while running one of the warmup races, I lost control of the truck at about 70 mph.. just kidding.. actually when the truck shifted to second, the tires ballooned too much and the truck cartwheeled and landed sideways on the cen tuned pipe.. well, the pipe cracked right at the mounts for the manifold, so not much chance of repair.. My question is, what should I replace it with... I'm thinking of an os pipe but what is the model and how much.... unfortunately, with the engine screaming wildly because of the reduced back pressure, I wasted a brand new set of spur gears again.. just put them on this morning.....

bummer.

ah well - its an excuse to get a nice and shiny pipe on there eh?

Ive been using the OS T1030 pipe on my OS.18CVR-X for a while now. With 25% fuel, the car flies along, with a fairly noticeable increase in performance over the stock pipe. I havent tried any other % fuels with it tho. Its not too loud, and the engine seems to get along well with it, as it should I guess - of course there is the OS quality and high finish that kinda goes without saying. Oh and try as I may, I am yet to severely dent it.

The T1030 is tuned for torque iirc, OS did make a T1031 tuned for hp, but I think both have been superseded now by a new range. I think Ive got all that right... In hindsight I would have probably gone for the hp tuned pipe, theres no lack of torque as u know with that motor, it may help it rev a little higher if thats what u want - just a thought.

And a comparison pic (of course) for u - thank the missus for shoutin at me and making me tidy up, and find the stock pipe...

Poor Judgement... I goofed... I need the manifold pipe, not the muffler (tuned pipe) part ff010 I think or some kind of equivalent.. I don't even know if they make such an thing...

FFS010 is the manifold. Associated and Dynamite both make ones in the same design but I think the CEN one is as good as anything else TBH. Mine has had some REALLY bad knocks and has come through with the scars to prove it, never caused me a single problem though.

and i wrote all that for nowt... just shockin mate...

not really... I will probably need that also, I'm pretty sure its messed up also.. never seen anything like it.. wasn't a hard crash, just in the wrong spot.. I do like the look of the chrome bling better that black plastic
