Does someone make a header that will fit the stock trx 3.3 with ez-start that will make it a side exhaust, and what is a really good and obnoxiously loud exhaust header combo for rear exhaust? I like loud stuff and my neighbors don't!!!! hint hint

as far as a side exhaust goes, I can't help you. However, RDLogics makes a dual rear exhaust for the T-maxx.. they might make one for the revo. It's hella loud.. it actually hurt my ears when I had it. If you're looking for something durable, you will be dissapointed. I had it on my T-maxx for an hour and bent the outlet pipes within minutes. It's made of crap metals and doesn't provide much back pressure for your engine. But it will definately be loud. It surely will piss off the neighbors.
 
yea i want to really piss off my neighbors like badly, but how is the trinity hi-flo tuned pipe, i hear they are loud as a ***** but do they lean out the engine badly???

A pipe won't "lean out" an engine. You can lean it out by messing with the mix too much, but, I can't picture an exhaust doing that.
 
well some engines lean put because the exhaust doesn't provide enough back pressure. But do you have any suggestions?

Oh, I see what you mean. You're saying that the fuel doesn't get forced to the carb and it leans becuase of the lack in pressure. The only ones I know of are the rdlogics ones, and they wont provide the pressure. They will give you the louder engine, though. I would suggest finding a few of them online.. and see if they have a number to call. If you can get in contact with them, ask if they would make your r/c louder.
 
Many used an HPI header to do a side exhaust. Once that's done, usually a pipe with a large ID on the stinger is loud. The bigger the ID is, the louder they are for me.

Side header:

Also, I had never ran this, but a few did that wanted to stick with the pipe in the stock location and helped avoid busting stock headers:

I believe it takes a bit of bending to get it to work though.

This was before traxxas came out with the new spring mounted header:

I don't now how long that pipe is... but I'm pretty sure it may not run well on a land vehicle.

This is by far the loudest and most worthless pipe I've ever run:
Revo Outlaw

Except I ran the t-maxx one I think:
T-maxx outlaw

I ran it on an OS 18CV-R in a HPI nitro MT I had. I received the pipe in a pile of parts that I got for trade a few years before and never ran that pipe. Figured I'd see what it did. Freaking loud and horrible power... but definitely loud. Should have the cops at your door within a tank or two of running.
 
oo nice but does it take away power or not do anything except make it loud as hell??
