I'm looking for a Pipe for this setup, tuned for low-end power. Can
anyone point me to one that works well? Thanks.

I'm running a THS 8015T on my buggy (pipe is tuned for low-mid) and I love
it.

It has great scavenging and keeps the motor clear from loading up, even
after idling for minutes at a time. EXPLOSIVE off the line power. It has a
slight (but noticeable) drop off in power as it reaches the top end, as do
most low-mid tuned pipes. Another great pipe is the Sportwerks HT tuned
pipe, which las a little less bottom end oomph but produces equal power on
the top end. It is also very quiet.

I haven't run any of these on your particular motor, but both have produced
great results on various big block motors in the .25-.28 range.

It's suhweet! Explosive bottom end and midrange, decent top end too for a
torque-tuned pipe. You'll definitely like it. It's real raspy and has a
nice sound to it as well. Not too loud, but definitely not a quiet pipe.
You'll notice an all around improvement over the stock pipe. It WILL need
to be retuned! Richen the HSN one full turn to prevent running in an
overlean state and retune from there.
