Try a resonator or an 053 pipe

I have a resonator, and it works great and looks good too. I noticed a bit of extra grunt when I put it on. For the price, it was a good choice.

that resonator is what i had lol i has skimming the ofna black anodized pipes. any input on them? i know theres a few but like i said idk specifics bout them

Oh yeah, I forgot the 4908 comes with the resonator doesn't it. Ofna pipes look nice, no idea if it will give you alot more power than what you had.

The 1/8 scale pipes will not work well on a small block engine like the 3.3 You should stick with a small block pipe for that engine.

Yeah but the 3.3 is a mid block, a .20 so its not far from a .21 which is a big block, so I can't imagine a pipe designed for a .21 would have that much of a performance difference on a .20, it might even work better.

Ahh but it does. The guys at Extreme Rc build pipes for RC cars and trucks so i would imagine they know what they are talking about. A .21 is not a big block it is still a small block. Big blocks are .28 and larger.

yeah I have never gotten bad advise from extreme!! definetly know the stuff!!
I use the resonater 5487-t-dc-r pipe on my max and my jato has the resonator 41x-b-sc-r both seem to be pretty good for what I do.
