What Racing Pipe is This?

[Ericke1]

Do you know what racing pipe this is? I bought this for a OS Max .21 engine a couple years back, it says Efra Mondial Motors on it? Whats odd is something is rattling inside, looks like there might be another chamber in the barrel? Also there is no support for the head for mounting. Will this work for my Inferno?:jet:

Give it to your ex-girlfriend and grab a real pipe. *snicker snicker*

OS T-2050 seems on the top of the reccomendation list these days. Seriously though, just try that pipe and see how it goes. If it performs alright, why not!

Looks like something similar here.....

Not sure if it'll fit on the ferno, just chuck it on in a way that it will fit, and see if it works any good, otherwise scrap it and grab a 2050.

Strange tires on that car in the pic. Just get a regular conenctor and use your use head for mounting it. Give it a go youve got nothing to loose.

Haha Give it to your ex girlfriend. Thats the best thing I've heard all day.

What you could do is get the exhaust hanger from an RC10GT and bend out the metal a little bit to make it fit around the bigger 1/8 exhaust. Or you could just take a piece of wire and bend it yourself and put a piece of fuel tubing on it.

The tires on that buggy in link above are pretty strange. Anyone here used tires like those before?

Here's the buggy:

Man, that thing is real strange looking for a lot of reasons. What is that?

I guess they went and tried to make some tires like the 1:1 aquatread tires from goodyear. Water channel and self cleaning of mud.

Take a look at the pipe closely

There is no fuel tubing to any pressure nipple on top of the pipe, isnt that odd? Do I need to get one? What about the fact that there is something inside the pipe, like a whole other chamber? When I look into the exhaust hole, there seems to be another chamber inside, makes me wonder how the exhaust would come out of the pipe?

Hey that is kinda strange. The buggy in the pic doesn't have a pressure fitting either.

Don't worry about the chambers in the pipe, some pipes are made with mulitple chambers, most of the time 2. You need to install a pressure fitting in the pipe to have a return pressure line to your fuel tank. Without the pressure line you won't get too much fuel to your engine!

There is some science involved with proper fitting location, but I really don't know about any of that. Looking at all of the pipes I have, I would think a good location would be just before you get to the recessed ring that goes around the pipe.

That is an OPS pipe. One of the baddest pipes I have ever used. I got 2. There is no pressure fitting cause you have to drill it your self. And that plays a big part in tuning the pipe. Drill it to far back and you motor will bog all day long. It needs to be right at the line. If you are going to buy one keep in mind that it takes a special header.

OPS RULES

There is a pressure fitting it is just further to the back of the pipe than a normal pipe. You can see it in the picture there is just no fueline attached.

Thanks

Teamplayer, can you send me a picture where I should drill the hole? What kind of pressure valve can I use? I have the header already. Please PM if you have any more info.

In the pic, the pressure valve, if that is what it is, is in the back end and not at the line, Teamplayer, when you shake your pipe, does something rattle inside? When I look into the exhaust hole, it looks like there is some metal chamber inside. Let me know. Also how do you support the pipe at the head since it doesn't have a hole to mount a support stem to the body.

Thanks.
