I'm a huge fan of the jammin JP-3.

I read a post in here a week ago... and from what was said the Buku pipe could theroetically be the best if you could ever get tuned. I saw the webpage and was impressed. But it seemed everyone was pretty against how friken difficult the thing is to get to work correctly and to keep it working that's a whole other mess. I don't know any of this first hand.... just repeating what I herd. I'm sure the other guys will give you suggestions on a better pipe.

Of all the opinions I've read the general consensus seems to be that it is not as great as people had expected. I considered it myself but decided it may not be worth the dough.
I had a CVEC pipe on one of my rigs,looked and worked exactly like the BUKU. Too much hassle for tuning,looked cool and sounded great though.

One of my fellow bashers has had a Buku pipe for a long time on his Revo 3.3 and has been very unsuccessful at tuning it. He has since shelved it and went to a Trinity pipe. Seems know matter what he does he cannot get it to idle. He has no problem with the Trinity pipe or stock just the Buku.

THS makes a great pipe for your slayer. Your savage would be good with a JP-3 or a Dynamite Mid-Range pipe. If you want to drop a couple extra bucks maybe even an O.S. Pipe. What motors are you running in each? You pipe should be a good match for you mill.
