Yokomo/MMielke In-line Tuned Pipe Review Not just for yokomo owners.
I went out and spent some money on the Yokomo/MMielke In-line Tuned Pipe. I wanted an in line because, 1 it looks cool, and 2 the Yokomo/MMielke In-line Tuned Pipe header is FAT!
First impression: Sucker looks really nice. When I first saw this thing, the first thing you notice is the thickness of the header and the nice polished finish. Big WOW factor.
First Run: I am running an RB X12turbo 5 port. I was worried that because of the large header, that I would loose my low end. Negative! The sucker jumps off the line faster than with the paris pipe and mugen header I was using. The paris pipe is good for low end, but this pipe just killed it. The acceleration was greatly increased with this pipe. I noticed that top RPMs were reached faster than before. A lot faster. The sound is also great. A lot more quiet than the paris, and sounds more sporty.
One flaw: Because of the larger pipe and how fast the car reaches top speeds, I found myself winding out the engine. I richend up the hsn just to be on the safe side. Temps were around 230-250 during the first run without tuning. After richening it up, I'm at 215-225 and the thing still hauls faster than when I had the paris.
It's a little more expensive, but well worth it. My friends noticed the difference even before I told them I got a new pipe. If you have a rear exhaust belt driven .12 GO GET ONE!
