yep, better flow! The powerband is more apparent with it too. Anything is better than the stock can... gut it and you get a noticeable gain.

tntjz3 thanks.. I sending it back to dino he is going to exchange it.. but I don't think I want to run a Jetpro anymore. I really don't like it hanging off the side..


why I am leaning towards teh High Flow pipe from hpi.. The bigest difference I notice with my stock can from jetpro is I don't have as much topend

I also cracked my side mount jetpro after skiding into a tree. you can stop by any body shop in your city and one of the guys would gladly weld it back for you for free or $10 bucks. IF I WERE YOU I WOULD GIVE THAT MCD rr REAR MOUNT JETPRO A TRY, YOU WOUN'T BE DISSAPOINTED AT ALLtrust me. I have tried 3 motors in my TT. O'brothers 27.2 Pro mod 4 bolt. tossed my TT around like rag doll. Also tried the 27.22 reed and a 28.5 reed. Seems like that damn pipe could'nt even wait for any of those motors to git a little gas, and it takes over damn near with out a bogg. thats a rally good pipe and it fits pretty good. you'll have to make a brace for it though.

Why not just get an XCan? They are better than the HPI 5T can and look a hell of alot better.

Hey Moo, if you are gonna put the Desert rat on with Sprint's rear dom I suggest getting some aluminum tape. I used the rubber connector from the stock and a 90 degree piece of 1 inch copper to direct the exhaust down. With the Proline body the pipe ends right inside the rear left fender. I put some of the aluminum tape as heat shielding just in case. 2 tanks and no probs with any warping. Not sure if the exhaust would warp the body being undirected but why chance it they aren't cheap.

yeah I've already spied that...i used the stock rubber and cut a piece of the stock stinger to extend past the wheel arch I will be getting some tape too for good measure I don't want to take any chances.


Beachthrottle the dom is louder than my fg baja jetpro by just a touch.


I don't think you'll like coming from the jetpro to a can...can's just don't get on the pipe.


Even though the dom is loud it is a torque monster


who are HOA? some busy body noise abatement society or what?

I don't really need more torque.. I running 27/33 gears . I did like the Jetpro Top End.. just the jetpro hard to make bodies fit like my desert rat that hsa a whole roll of Muffler tape on i so the Jetpro doesn't burn a hole in the $120 Body!!!


I am going go try the Hppi HighFlow... I have a 28.5 Motor and Ihave to admit with the stock can its not that bad!

isnt the HPI high flow exhaust more the same like a gutted stock can?? that's what i thought but not sure as i don't have one :p


i'm running a stock 23cc with gutted can atm .... but the exhaust mod master Sprint 77 is doing my RDLOGICS pipe (got the sh*t from my neighbours when i had rear dom on my Baja), really can't wait when it gets here .....
