Im guessing everyone is going to tell me to go for the Jet Pro!? Due to the price, Im looking at the Redcat tuned pipe, how is the performance versus the two? I like the fact that the Redcat is rear exhaust, Do any of you guys with the Jet Pro have any issues with a mess from the side exit? Or fitment issues?

Jetpro, sorry! Wish there were other options worth mentioning but the honest truth is you can spend $60 now on a different pipe, but that is $60 closer to the jetpro pipe. Save up, get it and be done.

Aside from the difference in power, the standard tuned pipe is aluminium, not steel, and will eventually melt

The stock pipe on the XB will QUICKLY melt. The one I had did not last a full tank either. I currently have two Rampages and use Jet Pro pipes on both, one side exhaust and the other rear exhaust. I think the Jet Pro rear exhaust gives the best performance. I can not say for sure because I have different engines, transmissions, and tires on my vehicles. I was told the side exhaust pipe gives better low end torque (acceleration) and the rear exhaust gives higher RPM (top speed). I have not tried any other exhaust but Jet Pro is good and their customer service is good. The Jet Pro pipes are well built and extremely durable but I managed to crash and crack one of my pipes. Jet Pro repaired it for free. I am definitely a happy customer that supports Jet Pro.

I use a cat box with the 6" extensions on my Rampage MT Pro V3 Monster Truck.

Other way around.

Ive thought of the CatBox as well. It just looks too much like a nice version of the can muffler that comes stock? Is there and performance gains?
