Do you want to ask a question are you trying to make a statement, did you want to show us something and forget the picture?

What is the point of your post?
 
I think, but this is just a guess, he is asking which one would be better.

Well that's only a decision he can make. Do you want more low end torque or more top speed? If you want more low end quickness and torque, go with the torque pipe, if you want more top end speed, go with the rpm pipe.

Well what pipe have people ran on that motor and liked. Maybe that is easier to understand.:ponder2:

Let me try this again.... Do YOU want top end, or do YOU want bottom end? That will determine which pipe to choose.
Not to sound like a smart ass but the xtm .18 is more of a torque motor from what i've heard which would meen a tq pipe would be better. The ? I am trying to ask Is has anybody tried either one and which one worked the best. I understand what you are trying to say. My friend had this motor in his car with a tq pipe I have it in my car now with a rpm pipe and it doesn't seem to run as good, What I meen about running good is not as much power both cars are identical. So once again what pipe have people had better luck with on a xtm.18....

If your friend has the opposite one you have why not just try it on your truck and see which one you like better.
I think I will I was just looking for some advice. Sorry for the inconveniece.

I thought that was advice :shrug:

Good luck in your pipe search.
Yet it was advice. I guess I should of clarified myself more on diffrent pipes.
Thanks for the advice.:)
 
Well for anybody who wants to know I tried the rpm and torque pipe really no diff. But I was using one of those hpi long s shaped headers and it was hitting my rear tire. So I went and bought a xtm short header off of a xcellerater and cut 1/16 of an inch off and tried rpm and tq pipe and all I can say is that thing hauls serious a$$ with the rpm pipe. It is so peppy and responsive.
 
Good for you poorwboy.
