RB 323 pipe on TZ - 07-04-2005, 11:46 PM

Well, I just ordered the RB 323 pipe for my OS .18TZ and my soon to be modded TM w/TZ p/s and CrazyNut head. It's a single chamber but I hope it's not as annoying as that Darned Trinity pipe. It's only $26 from Crsipy Critters so I'll try it.

I was getting good snap at the DD race but felt I could get better. If I have to sacrifice a little top end on the TZ I'm sure I'll be fine. That thing was hitting 45MPH easy with a 16t/38t spur using the standard ratio tranny on the Revo. A little more torque and I can put the 36t spur back in and it'll be a wash but hopefully with the low end gain. I hope I'll need to try even harder to keep the front end down!!

Anybody ever try this pipe?

Yeah, that THS pipe does look awesome. It also looks like the header bends more to the drivers side so that the longer pipe is centered better. I may actually buy that one also for my other motor.

Well, I've just put on the RB323 pipe and it does stick a bit far too the passenger side, when using the OS .18TM header, but not too bad. I just ran it for a little bit on the street and it definately livened up the truck! It's a bit louder with a different tone but much more tolerable than the Trinity Revo pipe!!!

I hope I can go racing this weekend so I can run it on a track to test it.

Dude, you should've seen the difference at Glitchers!!! I love this pipe! It's a perfect compliment to my truck.

I ran the TZ with the TM header, a 16t bell/36t spur, standard ratio tranny, and I had low end grunt/snap and high end speed. I've never been happier with my truck!

dude your truck was fast. That little engine had tons of power. Now you just need to learn to keep it on the track and maybe you can start doing better lol jk. Definatly was a good time racing in the dust bowl.

Mich, I totally agree. I do need to get better at driving. I've been striving to have the most technically competitive truck available and then the only excuse for my losing would be my piss poor driving skills. I think I'm on my way (regarding the truck that is! LOL!!)
