Tuned-pipe Choice

[Dongskie]

Good day everyone,


I'm on the look out for an exhaust upgrade and I found some choices from King Motor. I also checked that they are in New York and that saves me from shipping and handling since my wife is in New Jersey at the moment.


Which is better between these?


Thanks guys!

neither one if you are looking for more power upgrade. If you really want to wake your DR up you will want one of these http://www.jetpro.com/index.php/catalogsearch/result/?q=dune+runner

The 2 you listed is just a basic baja style pipe neither one is going to be any better then the other.

Just got the jetpro on my redcat chimera. Beast right after the install. Noticeable difference, and that sound gets people looking out their windows.

Thanks guys!

That gives me time to save-up

Jetpro for sure! But you might look at a silencer if noise is going to be an issue.

 

[blak__jak]

neither of those pipes will fit your d/r without being modified. the jetpro is the only one I know of that is a direct fit and both are made of aluminum which I would stay away from anyway.

I melted an alloy Ghost after 1 run and tried the steel one which kept blowing out coupling gaskets.

They're very easily fitted to the DR

I now run a Jetpro rear mount and couldn't be happier.

Kaceno is right - they are LOUD

Thank for the input guys!

Yes, sadly noise will be a concern, but I do like the rear mounded version.

The rear mount with the silencer is what I run on the DR its a BEAST!!!!!!

WOW that looks great!!

I noticed you have a 2Speed RCGasser, any videos?

 

[rcgasser]

I had a video of it somewhere with the dr running I have to find it. I do have a short video of the chimera running with the demon 2 speed.

Phill do u have a pic with one of those pipes mounted and what did u have to modify to get them fitting

Where did you get the silencer for the jet pro rear mount? Does it have a negative effect on performance?
