Savage Sy Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Just invested in a 5t and want to know what pipes are out there and how they perform . Was thinking Bartolone but heard reports that the Losi pipe gives more power . Just after some feedback before shelling out . Cheers.

Rockie Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Losi pipe is very good but you could also look at the Bartolone pipe very good as well my mate runs it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage-rage Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I got the bartlone co silenced one and I can say it is a great pipe it does wake up the engine and I'm running the stock 26cc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Sy Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Just had my first proper run completely stock and hit 39mph on **** wet grass , well chuffed and I've not even tuned it yet . Still running a bit rich and idling slow . Any tuning tips would be much appreciated . Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomerSimpson Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Bartalone is very loud... Louder than the losi pipe. The samba is very good and is the pipe of choice for track racers especially as its reasonably quiet compared to others. There are others which i'm sure others on here will have opinions on.

Carpmart Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 nice one fella make sure u threadlock the bolts and couple cable ties pulled tight on coupling Thread lock what bolts? The bolts to the head? The thread lock has no effect on exhaust bolts as the heat renders it useless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_tattoo47 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 you use high temp thread lock ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) Thread lock what bolts? The bolts to the head? The thread lock has no effect on exhaust bolts as the heat renders it useless! It's funny the amount of people who say threadlock exhaust bolts lol. And as for pipe, I ran the Barolone XP big bore unsilenced, fantastic all round pipe, worth every penny of the hefty price tag. If I ever had another 5ive, I'd buy another Bartolone. Edited June 29, 2013 by Oh How Original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover Man Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 you use high temp thread lock ! Nope No thread lock just use the spring washers that come with the pipe and dont over tighten them, job done 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 problem i get is so many people offer advice hard to know what or who to believe If Dave (Roverman) says something does/doesn't work, that's the advice to listen to and just so you know I wasn't saying it to be funny, I was more meaning if you ever forget to put it on or something, don't worry, it'll still stay in exactly the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
