ya there are tones of combos that work really as long as the header has a 2 inch bend. it will work. if I'm correct you have a .26 so you might wanna go with larger header. to make sure you have clearnce on the side. you dont want your pipe sticking out and a crazy angle
you kinda want it snug on your truck. cuz your header is to small.

i think this is what hes running I'm prolly gonna get the same soon

just ran again today. broke a front arm really nasty crash. held good. even know the tire was resting on the pipe.
 
ok wondering somthing. my brothers revo is same engine but with a back pipe. his pipe came off the header. and dam that thing had massive power but loud as poop hurting our ear's and was running about 10deg higher.

is that a really bad thing.for the engine . was running about 270. steady. and was ideing killer but i would have to say the power went up about 20%
 
running an engine without the pipe creates more power because of 1, no backpressure to the cylinder, and 2 no pressure pushing the fuel.

1 creates more power by freeing up the engine, just like a flowmaster or cat back does on a 1:1 car. this could be a good thing, and is the reason why you pay heavly for a very good tuned pipe.

2 is bad, very bad. your pipe is basicaly your fuel pump on these little engines. it uses pressure in the pipe to push fuel to the carb. the pipe is tuned to deliver a steady pressure so you can tune the carb to match it. without the push you end up with a very very lean running engine. yes it creates more power, but will wear out alot sooner to. i would rather have a little less power and not trash a 300$ mill....

i have heard of people running without the pressure line, but you have to tune the carb to it.
 
are there any upgrade pipes that come out the back or no? to me it looks like the pipe could get easyily damaged. I'm getting a revo soon so I'm looking for up grades that i could get.
 
well with the bb's that are .25 and bigger there isnt much room for a rear pipe beason showed what happens to rear pipes when you cram them in with a bb.

there are many side pipe kits that come with header and pipe inpakt rc has alot of them. but if you have a stock revo say with stock config
 
the rb mills come with a rear pipe that is tuned to the engine. but as pit said, there isnt much room back there for a bb rear pipe. and honestly unless you sideswipe a pole or something the sidepipe seems to be less prone to damage. you see what happend to my rear pipe...
