hey guys, I'm looking to put together the Roccomobile soon, I'm going to throw an OS .21 in it, was wondering if anyone had recommendations for a pipe and header. I know absolutely nothing about this decision, so thanks in advance...
what's that the OS pipe number?
oh yeah, me and you need to talk I think, I'll shoot you a pm...
do they carry them at LHR? I'd like to gather stuff locally and build the buggy and revo this weekend.
what am I looking for? a mid range pipe, high end?
I plan on powering the buggy with an OS .21
Get the JP-3 or OS 2050. Both great pipes, the JP-3 is a bit cheaper than the OS, but still around $90 at LH.
Look for a used JP-3/OS 2050, I know Gabe picked up a like new JP-3 for around $50...

the pipe im talking about they have a LH....id get that, itll be perfect for indoors and outdoors. its equal to if not better than the JP-2....the JP-3 is great to, but its also like double the price of the sport werks. trust me yuo wont be dissapointed

do you want to let it go?
Header too? If so that's a damn good deal.

I couldn't resist that one...
Blow what, Mikes stub....
Get a 053 or JP-3. There basically the same thing.

an 053 is low end / midrange pipe
a JP-3 is a 3 chamber design, that is semi-strong all the way through the powerbands curve.
(someone plz correct me if I'm wrong^^)
Personally myself, I have a brand new JP-2 that I will try @ first with teh Fantom, once I begin to become familiar with the characteristics of the pair, I am going to try a MsR1005 pipe with the mill, and try to see if a n00b can actually see/hear/feel the advantages that manifold/pipe combinations give an engine over another combination, I think the exhaust you choose should match your track / driving styles as well ( always try to suit your driving with upgrades, not what everyone else has )........... I have a lot of learning to do, and I cant wait frickin' wait
are you running Vspec OS? if so 2050/2060 like Mike said^^^
Or one of the JP models from Jammin's line
Pwnzor,
I believe you are probably right, the pipe probably needs to be matched to the driver/track/truck, but, I'm not really wanting to go and blow a few bones on pipes for testing... at this point, I'll blindly take suggestions, if when I get racing, I decide to get serious about it, then I may try some different pipe/engine combinations. Right now, I'm just wanting to get the buggy going and figure out how bad I'm going to suck

sure man, Im in the same boat , lol ...............well, are you runing in small areas? big wide open areas? are you on a track, is it tight / technical, or big wide open/flowing? How is your car geared? those are all questions one must ask himself before buying a exhaust setup........Talk to SlOW REVO..........He can get you the Jammin pipes CHEAP, I bought the JP2 with my 9.5 POS buggy, but @ the time the JP3 wasnt out, I think the JP3 would be a wise investment for you, but if its a Vspec, you may need a 2050/2060 to capture ALL the engines brutal power..............Im still a n00b, so I hope it helps some bro
2050 was designed to give os engines the most power and run time, 2060 smooths them out nuff said lol
