sk1pr@ Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Let us know when it arrives and how easy to fit, what it sounds, runs like as I have the same quandary. Would like the cpi, but cannot justify 155 billies on one. Cheers, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I was going to say regarding the OP it gives the impression it'll be REALLY LOUD, in a day and age when people other than real enthusiasts are reluctant to accept the noise. Possibly better to avoid if this is the case. I run an FG MT. I had a DDM Dominator. Good power, but L O U D !! I changed to an 'official FG tuned pipe' and it seemed to lose little if any power, but was MUCH quieter, whilst still making a 'reasonable noise'. Wheels off tuning is now possible without wearing ear defenders!! Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroholic Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 As far as fitting Baja pipes to Blackouts go, if it was that easy, they all would have done it. Only Baja pipe I have seen on a Blackout was the old stock SS pipe. KM clone it and call it a 'Ghost' pipe. It;s horrid in either guise. Doesn;t make huge power, and has a nasty edge to it's sound. If you have access to welding gear, then you can make anything fit though. Just keep the tuned lengths the same ( don't remove or add pipe ) and change the angles with diagonal cuts spun 180 and re-welded. The KM Thor pipe could be made to fit I reckon, but the Baja Dom pipe would be a real pain to adapt. Personally...I don;t like side pipes on the Blackout, as it means chopping a big chunk out of the shell to make it fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian w Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Thanks Nitro I don`t usually mess with exhaust to much I just thought I would give this a try. Vigilemus vigilum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 If your Blackout still has the stock square can with a long exit pipe on it, then it;s well worth the effort to change it. Nitros ship with pipes that are adequate for most users, with small improvements to be had by fitting pipes better tailored to how you drive. The petrol motors ship with a square box whose only function is to reduce noise. What they REALLY want is a tuned expansion pipe. You will notice an improvement. Power and efficiency take a big step up just by fitting a proper exhaust. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian w Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 I feel now that I have to wait and see what Freeprawn comes up with, if he can get the ddm quickly then I will go with that but if the supplier is out of stock I have told him I will cancel and want a refund. Is the KM Thor the same pipe that is fitted to the Baja SS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian w Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) Nige (Freeprawn) just emailed me DDM should be in early next week so it looks like it`s going to be DDM. Edited January 6, 2015 by Ian w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarveyC Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Ian, I have Dominator side pipe fitted to my 'XB. In order to install it I had to turn the fuel tank around ( had to do the same to fit a CPI pipe to my previous 'MT), as it does seem that the tanks are different on the Maverick and Redcat versions ... at least they were a year or so ago. To reverse the tank, you have to remove the rear axle as the rear dog bone goes through a tunnel in the tank. Not a major problem but it does add an hour or so to the job of fitting the pipe. Having said that, the pipe is good, goes well and is not too loud. Harvey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian w Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Yeah I had seen this Harvey a bit of a pain but as the pipe will not be in till next week I have plenty of time to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian w Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Rather then start another thread with a simular question. Is there an updated exhaust that will fit the Marder BUT still let the body fit on (buggy type body) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian w Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 I think I have answered my own question by looking around. So anyone reconmend an exhaust that requires the minimum of body cutting for the Marder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
