Howdy folks! Does anybody know of a cheap way to replace the 'short length' coupler that came with my TMaxx 3.3 with a longer one? I had to move the pipe forward a few cm, so now I need a longer exhaust coupler. I don't know where to find a longer one that will fit this pipe and header. Thanks!
 
Thanks Rolex. I've already checked out those options, and I need one that's a bit longer than stock options. We need to think outside of the box a bit on this. Any other ideas?
 
you could use high temp rubber hose, like maybe heater core hose. but changing the lenght of the pipe will affect your rig. the pipe is tuned to its length, changing that will cause you to loose either top end power or bottom end power.
 
You will lose any benefits the pipe gives you in the top end by extending it that far, it may even knock out the bottom end as well.
 
I've removed a few of your posts in the last couple of days. It's time to knock it off.

Silicone tubing by the foot. I've used it to vent exhaust away from planes and helis, but as stated, the length will effect the tune when used as a coupling.
You can increase some without a noticeable difference.
