hey if you can make a 2 speed tranny with a slipper there are probably a lot of people on this forum that would be willing to buy it from you....you should put them on ebay, and if you do tell me ill probably buy one, lol

if i had to guess i would say THS cause they have such a good reputation iv never herd of any complaints about them, but i guess i cant say much since i have never run either of those pipes..but i run a tsais rear exhaust which what iv seen has excellent performance for a rear exhaust

i have a set of speed hawg tires ( http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXDU17&P=ML ) that i have not yet used they look like they will grip ok but the road hawg tires ( http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXDU17&P=ML ) look like they grip a lot better, i only got the speed hawg tires because i found a set of 4 on ebay for a really good deal.... foam tires will grip a lot better if it is dry but you mentioned using onraod tires when its wet out and the foam tires will get all soggy and wont perform well, so for wet on road running i think your best bet is to go with some rubber tires
