I have the silenced VRC pro pipe on my reed case full mod and it was a beast a really really good pipe.  Another great alrounder is the CPI pipe although I have never run one so cant comment from that side.

The Big Bore gives low to mid
The Pro give mid to high

The pro was designed around the Full mod OBR motor, and is suited to it really well.
The BigBore is a more generic design

Silenced versions of each give a little more low end, but don't sound as angry !

Depends whaty your style is, there is no one magic pipe that I've found.

If you've got a big torque tuned motor, VRC Pro pipe, the motor will pull tall gearing easily and rev all the way up on the Pro pipe.

If you've got one the revier small cc motors, decent high RPM clutch spring and the VRC Pro pipe and it'll scream really quickly ;)
yes i run the smallest engine, the 27.2cc. i got a victory pipe a few weeks ago,had to get intouch as they didnt make it for my model of car,(they only make  the vrc),but its not the bb or pro,its not the vrc either as you know thats for stock blocks.
he said it would have great power throughout, so a better pipe overall,revs higher then a bb, has more bottom end than pro,so ideal for general bashing,just not the best for top speed.i should have mentioned in more detail that i was into the high speed stuff,and wanted more rpm's. the pipe does have good lowend and reaches good rpms,
its a shame because i could have had a pro made,but sort of got talked into the 1 i have,im not paying out x amount again for a pro to be made.
it will be a great pipe when we chill with this speed running stuff lol
p,s. remember speaking to you at the tm bash, you there this year?
thanx

Yep, should be at TM this time too :)

The v1 rear pipes are really good lo to mid too, so it should be good or you.

I went with the pro as its shorter and fits my shorte nice :)

I've had a few pipes :whistling:

JetPro V3 -  All Top End speed runs only
JetPro V2 Track Pipe - Quiet, Smooth power because it doesn't really give any !
Samba V2 - Quiet, Smooth power because again it doesn't give a lot
Dom V1 - All Noise and Low End
Dom V2 - Slightly Different Noise and all Low End
VRC Big Bore Rear - Low to Mid, nice sound, suited to ported motors
VRC Pro Side - loud lacking a bit on low end, mad top end
Bartelone 5T Torpedo side pipe - loud and mad low end, revs well too
GBE End Bleed - Mad Loud decent thorugh the range

Sure I've had more but there you go

I've kept the VRC Unsilenced Pro Side Pipe and Bartelone Torpedo on my 2 as I like side pipes
My LAd runs a V2 dom as it suits his on off throttle driving style
  the pro screems, actually my fg jetpro is a good top end pipe, dont know if ya seen it,but this victory on my hormann does seem to have good power throughout the rpms, can hear it hit high revs fast. but has great bottom too. only geared for 50mph,but gets there within a few seconds
a topend pipe would be better for me



like i said,great for bashing, good for top speeds just not the best
