Default Just for kicks...

So, my RB's HSN o-ring is a little worn out... (vibration of the truck turns it)... so, I decided just to go back to the 2.5r until I feel like driving to an RB dealership to get a new O-ring... or HSN... got 'er running... I must say... I'm STILL impressed. I kept the RB pipe on there (less crap to take off) and the thing SCREAMS... with 15/36 gearing it even tries to pull the wheels (isn't QUITE there...) To all those who say it's crap... I can officially disagree. Obviously, it's not quite as fast as the TM323... but it's defininitely not lacking...

Haha, I'm glad to see you like the peformance of the TRX with the RB pipe. I might have to try that later. Or I think I might just try and destroy the engine since the piston is like completely black even though it still has good pinch. Just out of curiosity, it there a big difference in performance between the stock pipe and the RB one?

To be honest... I am not sure... with the RB pipe, it seems to have better low-end grunt... with 15/36 gearing I can pull the wheels up a LITTLE... with the TRX pipe, I was running 15/40 with no wheelies... almost... but not quite.
