Well i was searchin some more for some rear exhuasts and i found some nice ones (so i think) theyre made of welded aluminum and have dual chambers REAR DUAL EXHUAST they also have a nice side exhuast
 
Same principle as the last one you asked about, only square. Dude, I'm not busting on ya, but do you know the principle of a tuned header/pipe? And why just about every pipe has the same basic layout? It has to do with the shockwave of the exhaust and how it is utilized to increase power. You can't just slap on a contraption of tubing and say it increases power and looks awesome. If you want to know the theory of the tuned exhaust, I'll write it for ya, but trust me on this, those pipe dream exhaust systems do not follow tuning theory. They may be loud and look cool and keep your truck from getting oily, but they will not make as much power as a good tuned header and pipe. You'd end up having to put a bigger engine in it to make the same power as the one you have with the stock pipe.

Here's a quote from that website that I find confusing and down right misleading:

We do not currently use fuel tank return line pressure fittings for several reasons:

1. They add extra cost to you.
2. They add extra unwanted weight.
3. All you need to do is stick your silicone return line into the predrilled hole.
4. Our testing has proven that they are not required.

First, how much is a brass fuel line pressure fitting? Not much. And if the "pipe" is aluminum, the fitting will self tap the threads.
Second, give me a break, a pressure fitting ads almost no weight.
Third, Sure, that oily fuel tubing is gonna stay put while you're bashing. I've seen it a hundred times at the track where someone is running their pressure line like that and boom, it falls out. Then the engine runs way lean and dies.
Lastly, test all you want, but I still don't believe that they are not required.

If you want to test these systems and post the results, by all means feel free. But what you'd save on not buying one of those pipes, you could have some other parts that would increase either power or handling.

I don't own a Maxx, but I do know engines.
 
well the pipe i really want to get is the TSAIS side pipe i asked 2 times in the other thread but no one answered me it says its for the savage but i want to know if it will beable to be used on the MAXX i think it will but no one will answer me so can you give me an answer
 
If the Tsias pipe is made 1) for a maxx (or haas the proper header), and 2) if it is for the right displacement for your engine, it should work. My last post was in referance to how that dual exhaust thing works, not if it would fit. Yes, the dual thingy probably will fit the Maxx. Will it do anything other than look cool and sound loud? Probably not. The point being is that just about any major manufacturer branded pipe (not exhaust) that is made specificly for (a given vehicle) will improve performance due to years of tested theory. My suggestion would be to look into getting one of these pipes and an exhaust defelctor tube. You will be happier with the improvement in performance.

I run a hot bodies pipe on my savage (Picco 26 powered) and it is louder than the Tsais equipped Hyper 8 Lighning Buggy I run. I am sure that the Tsias pipe would quieten the Picco, but the pressure nipple is in the wrong place to put it on the Savage. Also, the Tsias would probably improve the HP on the Picco also. This is due to the design of the pipes.

Just my opinion, but I hate to see people drop $50+ on something that just doesn't work. If they were so great, why don't you see them on pro and factory vehicles? Take it as you like and I hope you find a pipe that is right for your truck.
 
I totally agree with error401

a 2 stroke relies on back preasure and a properly designed exhaust, and that exhaust on that link has neither.

your better off getting a proper designed exhaust and fitting dummy tail pies if you just want it for the looks.
 
look into a CVEC pipe iver heard they good.I'm thinkinkg aobut getting one.
:jet:
 
Dom, what engine are you running in your Maxx? TSAIS pipes are available for basically any small block mill. There are 3 models available and they look pretty sweet. I think they took out an ad in this month's RCCA. The only think I can notice is that if you're running the TRX 2.5 or any other small block that uses the rear exhaust with the angled header they may not work. They are straight pipes and may not fit on the chassis very well...

Go to http://www.tsais.com/ which is their homepage and poke around. That should answer some of your questions..
 
DOm - error is 100% on. Like most everything in life it's all give and take and you have to decide where your priorities are. The company said it themselves...."Installation is easy.So is showing off to your buddies". It's pretty much for looks and not much else. Yes, the rear exhaust is very nice looking and not as messy. THeir's a plehtora of different types of exhaust's like that on the market. A female friend of mine (young girl) added a heavy ass brass rear "quad-exhaust" to her T-maxx. WEll, like most of these exhuast systems it didn't have the proper back pressure, it's not properly tuned so it actually took power away power and it's heavy as hell. EVen if it was a proper tuned pipe, the very small ammout of power that it SHOULD have added wouldn't even compensate for the fact that is was heavy as a mother phucker...lol. SO she slowed down her truck with that pipe and it's so loud that she couldn't stand it.

I'm with Candyman to and yes, what kind of engine are you running??

Another note on Exhaust,

Many people don't understand that you often aren't adding allot more power when you add a pipe. You'll usually c some on the high end or the bottom depending on what the specific pipe is tuned for. Often, you can get a new motor for some more coin as now-a-days good tuned pipes go for big bucks.

Stay the hell away from these heavy as pipes that don't have the proper back pressure and often add a ton of weight to your car.

Peace
 
Fat Welds????

I work for a Steel Fab shop and if any of our welders crapped out welds that looked like that they would be looking for another job. Those welds should be just a small bead and looks good and polished for this application. Those people just slapped those pipes together and the people welding them do not know what they are doing. Maybe they are being made in metal shop at the local high school. I can't believe they would promote those welds.

Sorry for the rant.
 
I saw that too Rob, I do a little MIG myself, and those "fat welds" looked more like goobered up JB weld than TIG.

I'm no welding expert but I'd have to agree.
