-Dav- Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Hey, I'm looking at changing the exhaust on maverick blackout mt but don't know if either of these will fit onto it (see pictures attached) if anyone has tried it or knows if they fit could you tell me your experience with them. Any help appreciated Cheers Dav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evssv Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) I'd jus Google blackout exhaust upgrades and chk out the pics ...to see what will fit Edited August 27, 2017 by evssv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian w Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Don`t think either of those will fit. For the blackout IMO there is only one exhaust upgrade and it is this one http://www.freeprawnracing.co.uk/petrol-car-parts-hopups/maverick-blackout-parts-hopups/hopups-from-other-manufactures-en/ddm-dominator-pipe-for-maverick-blackout-redcat-rampage-fd15x.html That will really wack up the performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So my next question will be if anyone could help, I know the DDM Dominator exhaust adds performance, would either of these exhausts add performance aswell as can't find information on that so any help would be great and appreciated.

I live in a "posh" area so any noise is considered nasty around here? I just like the sound of 2 strokes anyways.? also I won't be stood next to it while im driving it around ? They've gotta be better than the stock tube sticking out the back?? that surely cant be doing anything apart from pushing smoke further back and melting my shell ?

As for the other one can`t get my head round that will fit ?? but again just noise with very little improvement. If as you say you live in a noise conscious area you will be better to stick to the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evssv Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I tried a clone copy of a ddm dom v1 once on my baja ...made my ears bleed. ..and everyone else's within a mile around it ....terrible racket 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not the duel outlet then but as for the other I fount this picture which made me think more that one. Also iv fount an American brand 'jet pro' so I'd have to wait for delivery but some of the exhausts will fit the maverick blackout plus I'm assuming there tested as they've got videos of the trucks with each exhaust on and they do look like a decent brand and make.

Continuing my search threw jetpro I managed to find this that I quite like the look of, I like the raw metal look of it aswell. Also in my search for a new shell iv emailed kraken to get shell dimensions so I can have a look at fitting a kraken cage and panels to my maverick blackout, if it's possible I'll definitely have one different looking truck.

-Dav- Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 That one on far left in the first pic is nice, I'm after a more cagey shell which is why I was looking at the kraken shells well cages lol but I do like the black one over the red one.

-Dav- Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 Ahh nice, is it hard to wrap stuff? But I meant the make of the shell as I like the look and if kraken cage fails to fit the blackout I'll have to look elsewhere for one that will.

Hyper-d Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Jet pro, cpi or ddm are the only real options for the blackout, with the ddm being the easiest to get a hold of. Any exhaust that you put on will make it a lot louder but it really needs it as in stock form the trucks pretty slow. keep us posted if you get the kraken cage to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh right, looks really good for a stock cage. 13 minutes ago, Hyper-d said: Jet pro, cpi or ddm are the only real options for the blackout, with the ddm being the easiest to get a hold of. Any exhaust that you put on will make it a lot louder but it really needs it as in stock form the trucks pretty slow. keep us posted if you get the kraken cage to work IV been looking at importing a jetpro exhaust from America bit pricey but fingers crossed its worth it. They certainly look better anyways, also I don't want a side exhaust like the ddm as already got one on my blackout xb and iv rolled a couple times and knocked it and slightly bent it so wanted something different for the blackout mt. For the kraken cage I'm just waiting on kraken to reply with dimensions of the cage so I can compare the dimensions of my truck, if it's close enough I'll buy one and try modify it to fit properly. If succeeding in making it fit I'll definitely have one different looking blackout mt lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
