Default Buku pipe owners place your settings here...

Hello I run a LRP spec 3 and a buku power adjustable pipe. I found what seems to be a great combination, but I want to know what everyone else thinks is a good combination. So just use the same kind of form for your settings of the buku pipe and maybe everyone will try other peoples setups, and we can find optimal settings that suits different combinations. Trying to make a reference sheet for buku pipe owners basically.

Car: LST 2

Motor: LRP Spec III

Spring: stock (greenish/yellow)

Cone: LRP convergent Cone

Restrictor Rings: 2

Turns: 1-2

Seeking: mid to top end

I have a MGT with a modded stock .28 engine. I run the pipe with stock settings except with the #2 spring. Tension turned in 3 full turns. With a LST2 header. The pipe is sweeeeeet!

Here's a couple videos from this past week of the BUKU pipe screaming.

Make sure to read the manual. Tune with plug in take plug out richen needles 1/8th turn when done. This pipe made a huge difference out of the box but the truck needs to be well tuned before tuning the exaust. Read manual, Repeat, Read manual, repeat.
It may take time to get used to but in the long run you should be completely satisfied.
oh yeah, buy life insurance[8D]

Does the pipe come with a header, or do you just reuse the stock one. I've been wanting to get a tuneable exhaust on my Revo, and this looks like it might be it. Any suggestions for the OS18TM with some light port modding? Thanks.
