Hi, today I will be reviewing the THS Pipe for the Revo...
Here is the pipe;
Very nice and shiny...
The pipe comes in a nice box.
It includes;
Pipe
Manifold
Unbent Hanger
Setscrew
2 Orange couplers
1 Black coupler
1 Long spring
3 Short springs
1 Exhaust deflector
All nicely packaged in bubble wrap.
Performance;
I don't really like this pipe. After running the stock pipe on my 3.3 for about a week I got this, and noticed no gain at all. I had to severely retune, and even then it didn't seem to pull as hard. Burnt up a couple of plugs also, but that was probably on tuning issues.
Looks;
Looks awesome, nice mirror finish.
Durability;
No dents, dings, or severly bent parts after some good hits. One thing though, the bottom of the pipe got some hits by the rocker screw. And while trying to bend the hanger, it snapped! I had to custom fab one out of spare linkages.
Cost;
For $50 shipped to your door for a stock performance pipe, not the greatest choice.
Final Thoughts;
Stick with your stock pipe for the 2.5/R, and for the 3.3, drill the stinger slightly larger on the stock pipe. The THS pipe offers nothing but looks and hassles.
