Help with choosing a pipe

[Guest]

So I got a chance to go run her this morning and man did she fly... all the way across the parking lott and back... really woke up at about mid-rpm range and then just took off from there like a bat out of hell...Got her all lined up and my buddy was there to shoot the radar gun at her... gave her full throttle and clunk... something flew off the side of the truck... I was so nervous as I walked to go get it- not having a clue what fell out. The screw holding the silencer in the pipe had fallen out and the silenced portion came right out.

Didnt find the screw so I still don't know if I broke 50MPH yet... but I hope to find a replacement soon and get this thing back on the track.

That's crazy. Did it get loud after it shot out the silencer? Did you order the rocket launcher version? LOL

My 5T has a silenced pipe. Has a nice tone to it.

I do like the silenced pipe... brings the noise of the ported head down a bit so that all the small children don't cry when it screams by...

Now I just have to find a replacement for this screw though so I can hear a little more "gas powered music"... ha ha ha

I like the loud pipes. Unfortunately not everyone shares my opinion.

I found a screw in my spare screw can that fits... unfortunately it is a clutch bolt... so it doesn't quite look right...

But that's ok with me... Im driving again!!! Now I have to wait for the guys to get together again so I can get the radar back out

I still gotta order me a new gun. I want the tripod version.

I tried the other day to just hold both hands straight out- one with the controller and the other with the gun... but apparently 2.4ghz makes a radar gun stop working. I will have to find a way to use this in my jeep

Really?? That's funny.

Seriously... the radar gun would not work at all... even made me change the batteries thinking I must have left it on the last I had used it. I figured it out when I put the controler down to just clock a few cars driving by...

Makes me wonder if the radar gun could ever cause glitching.

 

[Guest]

Now I really need one! LOL

So, as stated earlier in the thread... It's not good when your bad day at work ends up on CNN.

I guess he won't be talk'n. That should not be public info as far as I'm concerned.

That is a bad day!

question: I could not get the flipping silicone tube on it because it is just not seeming large enough... how much does it need that thing if it is pretty much slid straight on?

This might help.

that guy is a jerk... he makes it look so easy... ha ha ha

I had thought of a screwdriver, but I was concerned and didnt want to rip the tube...

Guess my 2nd guessing myself doesn't really pay off.

Thanks RC Dad, I appreciate the link and now will put the couppler on before this weekend's play day.

Like many things, it'll go on a lot easier with some lube.
