Default engine upgrades

For all those who upgraded their engine for the 1/10 scale buggy,what differences did you see?Do I have to break the fuel pipes to get them off and get new ones in order to install the engine?

What motor are you upgrading to, and no the mufflers are on with plastic ties just cut the ties and pull the muffler off, you may have to order a new peace that goes from the muffler and the motor.

Maybe some OS engine.I was not talking about the muffler.I was talking about the tube that gets fuel from the tank to the engine.
