Smarttech Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Hi there. Ive had my stock 29cc 5ive t for just over a month now and it's great fun. Ive been looking at air filter and exhaust upgrades but have found so many but have no idea what works with the 29cc stock motor and what's just fancy bolt on bits with no gain. Can anyone recommend what air filter to go for and exhaust on the 29cc based on experience and not because someone told you it was good. Many thanks.

Carpmart Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Keep the stock airfiiter, no descernable gain with anything different. Pipe wise, BZM Exhaust is the daddy... I've got three and I use on most of my 5ives's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasi Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Jetpro silenced all the way, Awesome mid to high end pipe for my 30.5cc esp modified fg 2wd, if it fits ur rig go and get one, U will fall in love with its melodious sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatteh316 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 If you want a cheap and cheerful pipe that performs well the Losi Tuned Pipe is hard to beat when it comes to performance/price ratio but it's loud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(-:AD:-) Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Bzm pipe, good sound and good power. I use the tgn filters just because I think they are easier. If it's 29 has it got the stupid looking square box? I've got one but never used it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyknight Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Is it the new style square filter? If so they're **** and you should replace it with the previous losi 5ive round version. Check free prawn for a superset, he normally has some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is the square box type that draws air in from the bottom only that I can see hence filling up with crap so easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyknight Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Yeah it's a bad design, the previous filter is a much better design and there's not much out there that is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmini Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Couldn't you just mount the big square the other way up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But think intake vent on the side would be more practical than on the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smarttech Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 Managed to turn the box 180 degrees so intake slots in to the box are now on the top as couldn't do 90 degree as I would of liked due to box shape. Hopfully this will stop it sucking up all the leafs and muck out of the tray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
