Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / December 2005Pipes...
Specifically, for my Sav and my 4.6... Basically - the ribbed pipe - is absolutely DEAFENING. Seriously, and this is compared to the RB i had on before that was not by any stretch of the imagination, quiet. Sooooo my Sav just cost me more money and because I ordered the HPi tuned pipe to shove on and see how that goes :-) What pipes are you other 4.6 owners runnin' then? Anyone else does any mods recently? Not just to Savs - anything?

Would it work well on my 4.6 monster GT? Should work just fine! > I like the sounds of the CVEC. Would it work well on my 4.6 monster GT? Will the CVEC reduce noise? I drive around my apartment and dont want the neighbors hating me. The MGT seems much louder than my RC10GT. The CVEC Pipe is fairly loud..a different pitch loud from a standard pipe, as it has an internal adjustable piston that moves.. > Will the CVEC reduce noise?

I drive around my apartment and dont want > the neighbors hating me. The MGT seems much louder than my RC10GT. Here's a suggestion. The Sportwerks pipe I have on my .26 (same as your MGT) is very quiet compared to my Savage with HPI polished pipe. It is just a hair louder than my bud's T-Maxx with .18 and Dynamite aluminum pipe. I have the HT pipe (NOT the buggy pipe) and have zero complaints. I wouldn't put another pipe on it if it was given to me. Then again, I have no idea how loud your truck is now so I can't really say if it'll be quieter or not! <g> Doc >> Will the CVEC reduce noise?

I'm running the 4.6 polished pipe on my S-25 and it is a tad quieter than the stock composite pipe and much quieter than the ribbed pipe. I think any 2-chamber pipe will be quieter than the ribbed pipe which is just TOO loud. Top end seems to be about the same but much more bottom end and mid range power. Decent scavenging as the motor takes forever to load up at idle whereas it used to load up pretty easily, even with a good tune.

These are all the things I wanted to hear :-) SignatureDan > Specifically, for my Sav and my 4.6... > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > -- > Dan I'm runnin the stock polished alloy pipe that comes with the 4.6 kit here. Personally I think its to loud and it makes a friends 25 with a ribbed pipe sound quite, but the ribbed pipe makes my better halfs tmaxx and another friends revo sound quite. I might see if I can loan a sound meter the next time we're all out and see what the meter says. I'm thinking about buying that snazzy lookin wheelie bar for my Savage 4.6. I just (today) got some Imex Outlaw wheels and Swamp Dawg tyres which I am sure don't hook-up as well as the Dirt Bonez do but I wanted something that will last on the gravel and hot sand this summer. I run these tyres on my Stampede with ribbed tyres on the front and in the sand dunes its awesome fun. Also thinkin about getting the gettin my pipe, roll bar and chassis plates anodised, just haven't thought of a colour yet. I'm thinkin I might copy that HPI idea and try some flames, maybe in gold??? I am putting some super bright 18,000 mcd led's in my spotlights that came with the kit for the night runs. I recon this will look awesome while doing back flips at night.

Heh - I've got some little LED headlights I got off ebay for these winter months :D SignatureDan |
