Can you indentify this pipe? - Obsessive R/C - 08-03-2006

This is a Dynamite 1/8th scale buggy pipe. It has no part# on it and I was wondering if there was any way of telling what type of pipe it may be. It's chambered and to me looks kinda like a 053?

To me... It looks like a dynamite copy of a Novarossi 9853 which is a low-mid pipe...

*EDIT* Didnt see you already guessed it to be a 053... sorry

It's cool, I was only guessing at it being a 053...but it does look like 6627 might be the right pn...they still do not give any info on what the pipe is supposed to be for.

by the shape it's a low-mid pipe.

I'm going with Tex on this one. It's short and fat which makes for a low-mid range tuned pipe. Longer and skinny makes better power at higher RPM's.

I beleive you have that backwards Olds... longer is usually low end and shorter pipes are high end.

I was basing my statement above off the fact that it tapers down in front like a 9853, which is a low-mid pipe

Now that you mention it, I think I was just wrong.

I think this is how pipe dynamics work:
Long - low end
fat - low end
short - high end
skinny - high end

Long/gradual convergence - high end
Short/abrubt convergence - low end

I could be calling it the wrong name, but I believe the convergence cone is where the pipe is shaped like a cone where it connects to the header.

THis would be a relatively long convergence cone pipe:

This would be a short:

The first is tuned for higher RPM power, the second is tuned for low-mid-range RPM power.

The pipe in question appears to be a fairly fat pipe, medium length, medium convergence cone. Should make for low-mid range RPM power.

Pics don't work but explanation makes sense.

This was the one for torque: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LX3419&P=7

And this is the one for higher RPM's: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXBMH0&P=7
