ok what are the advantages/disadvantages of using a side pipe on my revo, also which pipes do people recomend and also what kits/adaptors would i need?

thanks

find a side manifold and use a resinator, or the trinity, but i think the resenator will work better, i also have that question, is there any disadvantages besides the exhaust gettin all over the left rear a-arm??

I'm bent my header landing on the rear of the truck--that's why I've switched. It also allows you to use a bigger pipe, which for me, gives a little more bottom end. But, I hate getting the exhaust all over the back wheel.

You do get unburnt fuel on the rear left wheel on a revo, but a side pipe is the way to go IMO. I use the JP-3 and I love it. The problems with rear mounted exhaust is that you bend/break headers on a nominal crash. With a side pipe, you'd have to wrap your truck around something to get at that pipe nestled between the wheels. Also with a rear mounted pipe, you have size limitations, which also limits the performance of a tuned pipe.

yeh with a side pipe it does look vunerable and unprotected but then i remember youve got the wheels is the jp-3 made by jammin? oh yeah and whats the difference between the jp-1, jp-2 and jp-3?

advantages

1 more pies to tune to any engines needs.
2 you can tune your shocks easyer
3 easyer to get to to prime the engine
4 puts more weight on the front of the truck for better stearing and balence
5 when you have a wing and you have to work on the rear of your truck and have a stock exhaust, you allways have to take it off.

Disadvantages
1 costs more money, ruffly $30 more in all over a normal pipe
2 greasy tire
3 have ot cut radio boxes or find some other way to mount it.


Jp-1 pipe
ment for low end power gains

Jp-2 pipe
ment for high end power gains

Jp-3
ment for midrainge power gains

I would recoment any of those pipes, and get hte hard coated ones for durability

ok is there a tutuorial on how to cut the boxes/mount the pipe anywhere?#
thanks

ScRacing

There are several ways to do it and all are easy. All i did was drill a hole in the radio box and stick the exhaust hanger mount in. I glued it in place, cut a hole in my body for the mount to slide through, then i just bolted the header up to the engine and then just hooked up the exhaust to the hanger and i was done.

shoebag_ape

ok so is that just the normal exhaust holder?

When you buy a pipe they come with every thing you need.
