Ok... These are in your price range... They will prolly be good till you can get somthin better...
Like i said, they may not be great but will do fine.. And will make great back-up pipes to somthin better
BTW... Dynamite has a new line of pipes with stingers like the jp line

well i got a sportwerks 053 hard anodized....and wow i hav a lot of more top and low end..
but I blew a plug in just one tank didnt even run out of gas and it shut off, so im thinking somethin went wrong with the piston/ or what do you guys think?
dent in pipe!! - kevinF - 09-30-2006
any ideas guys?
dent in pipe!! - rocco79 - 09-30-2006
maybe too lean... Richen and re-try... New pipe can throw a tune off too.
I love the 053 pipes... How much for it?

its really not deep, barely feelable with your finger, but I dunno, i doubt it would ruin the plugs
dent in pipe!! - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 09-30-2006
dude that thing is done, u might had some metal chip off the rod or sumthing like a huge piece of dirt, hope christmas comes early for ya bud
dent in pipe!! - kevinF - 09-30-2006
hahah yup.........damnit...........so you think thats whyits blowin plugs?
dent in pipe!! - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 09-30-2006
yes lol its prolly running like chit too, take another hard look at the rod, there has got to be alot of play in it on the crank
dent in pipe!! - kevinF - 09-30-2006
ahhhhhh well the rod had a little gouge and the part where it attaches to the crank one side is all scratched up
dent in pipe!! - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 09-30-2006
the bushing spun and floated around ur motor, then the rod stretched and it prolly goes up alot higher in the stroke now which "creates" too much compression and u blow out plugs
dent in pipe!! - Traxxas_Junkee - 09-30-2006
He said it was running good though.
dent in pipe!! - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 09-30-2006
until it started blowing plugs, that kinda stuff happens fast at 40k rpms lol
dent in pipe!! - kevinF - 09-30-2006
yeah it runs great, real strong untill 1 tank of gas is allmost out then just dies and blows the plug
im gonig to go talk to santa and see if christmas will be 3 months early for me....lol
