atom3624 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Was wondering what you meant by the Pogo sticks for a while!! Roughly the same spec as my Jugg 2 - check out Some of my Friends in the General section. I run an EVX-2 and 2x Kershaw brushed 550 motors - no problem. Al.

Oh How Original Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Weirdly, the clone of the Dom actually kicks out more power than the real thing... Just a hint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trip... Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Not a fan of the Dom pipe, be it clone or otherwise. The tone is numb and bland. Hurts my ears. I had a dom on the back of my FG M/T, I hated it, I called it a hillbilly pipe and replaced it with a proper JetPro. The dom is just loud and dulls out the 2-stroke ping/pop sound and makes it sound like a fart can on a Volvo estate. It just sounds wrong in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, I love loud. 12cyl Lambo through a tunnel, oh hell yeah! A 93 Honda Civic with a dust bin sized fart can, no! Hell No! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 The clone isn't actually too bad... My favourite so far has been the Uber Pred on the Baja and Bartolone XP big bore for the 5ive.... Only had a stock can on the Punisher and the Marder, so can't comment on tuned pipes for those. I think in a month or so I'll be buying a better engine and that clone side pipe. It'll either be the RCMK at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderwolf Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 if I could find a pipe with more power than the cpi big bore to run on my obr methanol engine. the problem there is they are all side pipes, which have no hope of getting fitted to my Baja, ever.

That's pretty much your only option for getting the most out of your engine. I'm not overly keen on them, especially chrome, I prefer raw, but I do want the most out of my engine, not bothered too much what it looks like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderwolf Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 how my cars look does actually matter, speed and power don't really matter as much, just nice to have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I'm going for the opposite lol. Mine do tend to look pretty nice anyway (for my personal taste) but mainly I go for the best I can get from them. Especially now my primary bash area is a flat field.

sonic2810 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 The 5.5 30 Prostock is what I have. Once I get all my spares in the post I'll also do a review of the OBR and compare the Thor (cpi clone pipe) and the VRC clone pipe to see which I and the Prostock like better. I took the head off my OBR Prostock and I didn't really see much done to the ports at all. I can see where they worked on the exhaust a little bit, but all the ports look pretty much standard but with a light scuffing for fuel atomisation. But for the $240 I spent on it with the billet case I think it was a steal. Definitly couldn't find a better bang for the buck, so to speak. If one doesn't like the chrome on the clone pipes, scrub it off with a wire wheel in a bench grinder and paint it black, or go with the raw look if that's what you like. Just remember to oil your pipe or it will rust lol. I must viste more with u all nice people chatti ng about me lol .. hows things guys... U are right the prostock are best bang for buck in there price range ... wait till u jump up to a full mod or a 38/40 cc longrod ...

Oh How Original Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I think the ProStock complete engine and the clone side pipe will be my choice. Either that or the Full Mod long block, time will tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I'm only on a field, so provided I don't go silly with power, the engine should be nice and reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
