The stock pipe on these arent that great so I decided to put the good ole trusty x-can billet pipe on my list of what to buy. Here it is- http://www.davesmotors.com/store/product1086.html

I will be getting the black can with the optional 6 inch black exaust tubing leading out to the back so that I dont get the gas all over the chassis...

Should add a couple mph and alot of low end power.

The x-can is a high-end pipe... NO TORQUE. (As I was told by a baja owner)

Takedown 08.20.2008 12:21 AM

Its a low end pipe... I dont know who you heard that from but id doesnt add much speed at all. Only 2-3mph is whats said.

Heres a quote directly from daves motors site... "The X-Port gives the X-Can canister type muffler a header effect and in turn gives the X-Can better low end power than a standard muffler."

Test it with both. I'd assume that the stock one is a complete piece of crap, so I don't know if it'd even be a comparison.

Judging by the vids the stock pipe isnt as bad as it could be. It will still burnout and do donuts but with the xcan the low end really increases a substancial amount. Pedebeater is running a Bennett pipe "xcan knockoff pipe" and compared to his stock pipe the low end power increase was outstanding. Well worth the $80.

hmmm i may be on the 1/5 scale train pretty quick

Takedown 08.20.2008 08:57 AM

BL-is-future, have you ever driven a 1/5 gas?

bl-is-future 08.20.2008 09:25 AM

yep a baja rtr and loved it. Just the size is amazing. Only thing that was holding me on the 1/5 is they were all 2wd and for a decent 4wd it would run me like 1500. It appears this is not the case anymore.

Takedown 08.20.2008 09:32 AM

Ya they are a blast for sure. 4wd in 1/5 scale is overrated IMO. You have to have a powerful engine and strong drivetrain for it to even be worth it. Their selling the MCD 4wd clones on ebay for $600 shipped. You might want to take a look into those.

bl-is-future 08.20.2008 10:05 AM

yep that is the plan.

Be sure to replace all of the bearings on the truck. Ive beeen hearing thats the only thing you have to replace. Im buying a good set of ceramic bearings inplace of them.
