Very nice, itsa! Nothing quite like that snap crackle and pop of a tuned pipe. I'm actually going to do the opposite this weekend when I get a bigger exhaust deflector -- I haven't gotten any complaints yet but I want to be able to run the Baja freely in the neighborhood.
 
i here you. i live across the street from a really nice park, but the nieghbors complained when i had my 5b with a jetpro. if they see me come outside with a matchbox car they call the cops. its better to just keep it quiet for the nieghbors, couse once they complain you wont even be able to fire up in the driveway..
 
its really quiet and starves the motor. running a stock can is like running a marothon while breathing thru a straw..

So it runs leaner? Or should I be ok mixture-wise?

How about the 5t can? I remember someone said it makes about the same power as the HPI pipe but way less noise.
 
oh sorry. i meant it starves the mill becouse it feels like it can't breathe. you will have to retune, but if anything you would lean it out just trying to get a little extra pinch out of it.. and yes, try for the 5t can. not sure if its like the ss pipe as i dont have one, but every little bit will help
