New RB Concept buggy racing pipe

[HumboldtBlazer]

This is the new 3 chamber pipe from RB products.

Brand : RB CONCEPT
Reference : 01351-2020P
Resonateur 2020(Buggy) "IN-LINE" Polished

Still keeping the quality of the king of the tuned pipe, the famous 063, the new brand 2020 is the latest 3 chambers tuned pipe of RB. Thanks to its new shape this pipe provides an incredible medium range power, keeping the usual wide spectrum of the 063 pipe. This new pipe has a short stinger to decrease the damage risk into crash.

Nice looking pipe! Good find HumboldtBlazer... the master of new products! You keep us all up to date.

That would look nice hanging off my WS7 11, very nice. Thanks for the update HumboldtBlazer.

 

[AC48]

That looks very nice, I might have to pick one up when I get my buggy.

 

[dougc]

when it says inline what do they mean?

 

[HumboldtBlazer]

it has a header attached. Also called a one-piece pipe.

Like that.

Hmm I wonder if that will work on my Savage...?

 

[Nitro_Freak]

hey that looks really cool !! anyone know what the sticker will be on it when it comes out ? knowing rb though, it'll probably be close to $150:\

Personally i'm not buying another RB pipe again.

They look lovely out of the box, and always perform like a charm, but give it a month of hard racing/bashing and it will be beaten to a pulp, it'll dent every time you look at it, and the shine dissapears in the first week.

I still use my one piece rb063 (not going to deny, IT WORKS), but its OS T-2050 for me next time.

Doesn't RB use a much thinner metal to suposidly increase the effectiveness of the pipe on power? I thought I remembered hearing that somewhere, that it has something to do with the way that it handles the exhaust waves to deliver more power.:shrug:

I've been putting off buying one of these high $$ pipes till I got a better mill. Do these pipes actually provide a performance boost you can see... I just figured I'd ask one more time before dropping some $$ on an upgrade....

You and me both... I won't get one till I get my new motor, but check THIS article out... just had a discussion about this in the General forum and this link was posted... explains how it works and, yes they do work... if you read that article, you'll see that different pipes do different things.

Yes there's always a noticeable difference if you do the research and buy a nice pipe, sometimes it really brings an engine to life.

And yeah, RB do use thinner material, thats why they (supposedly) perform better than the copy pipes like the Ofna which are thicker.

Still, I can't stress how quickly an RB pipe will get beaten to a pulp, so please if you are buying one, have a think about it first. They perform great, I am 100% satisfied in that department, but durability wise they just plain suck.

They've fixed the stinger thing which is sweet, but the rest of the pipe is still gonna be the same thin metal.

If the OS can perform just as well, and be virtually bulletproof - guys are beating them up, and they stay shiney, the stinger stays put, and no dents seem to ever magically appear in them - then i'm sold on it.

I'd rather spend $120 once off than $120 every few months.

Yes they do, and some people powder coat them before use to make them last longer, ooh the joys of racing.........

 

[WA2FAST]

To make what last longer? The finish or something? Powder coating certainly doesn't add strength...

Actually powder coating adds significant strength. I have had a RB 063 one piece that was custom powder coated and it held up tons longer than a stock one. Where are you getting your information WA2FAST?

 

[WA2FAST]

My bad my bad... I honestly didn't think that powerder coating added any strength from being dented in. I should probibly know considering my father owns a powder coating company

Well so does FSFTBDY (a member here). www.cecoatings.com feel free to ask him about the significant strength that powder coating adds to a slueth of metal products. I bought this pipe from FlyinRazorBacks brother and him and FRB both had there pipes coated because they were tired of denting them (very avid racers like every weekend). Now FRB is not on a lot too much anymore but it is because he races all the time and at big regional events also. They raced the powder coated pipe a whole season without dents and before like Udi stated they usually only last a couple of months before they are out of tune do to dents. I sold the pipe to NA who also noted its durablity over stock RB pipes do to the powder coating. I am not saying you cannot have your opinion or it is wrong I just know this worked for us in the real world and made the pipe much stroger.

Peace love and hair grease

PS look at pipes like the Sirio Big Bore for the T-Maxx. They powder coated in from the factory (blue, or black) because the T-Maxx pipe hangs out there and is very prone to damage. Sirio powder coated this for a reason.

I wasn't dissagreeing with you... I was wrong, just saying my bad. I'm sure you are right, I don't doubt it one bit.:read:
