[naftausa]

The DDM Dominator is a good choice.

why not use the FG tunning pipe that the FG 4wd comes with ?

 

[naftausa]

I had a Jetpro V3 on my FG Baja and its great. I moved it over to my Leopard and I am getting a DDM Dominator for the FG Baja because of the shape so I don't have to cut away as much at the body since I was running without a body when testing the Jetpro. If you don't mind waiting until I get the DDM Dominator in to be able to test and compare then I can help you make your decision.

I ran a dominator and then changed to a jetpro as I think it's a neater fit, amount of body to cut is negligable. Unsilenced sounds awesome and it gives same if not broader power than the dom

Old style Samba all the way. It uses a smaller header

mooman007uk: I am glad to see you are enjoying yours. I have a 2speed so more low end power should be great from the dom. I guess I will see.

Here is a picture of the Leopard with the Jetpro pipe.

Yeah I love it, I've got the 2speed too with 48/16 and 44/20 gears goes like stink, I bought the low end jetpro rather than the top end pipe and I'd say the jetpro has a slight edge( I'm running a reed ported oneills 28.5) but it's hard to say without running them side by side ...they are both good pipes though and worth at the min 1hp.

My DDM Dominator shipped today so I will have it for my FG Baja by this weekend I hope.

don't forget to post pics here when u mount the ddm ok??? :flowers:

 

[[AK]Zip]

Yes no problem. I will post a picture so you can see. The car isn't done yet as I need to still make a few things for the hydro brakes, but I will still mount the exhaust to show you.

 

[[AK]Zip]

Well I got the exhaust and installed it. It was pretty straight forward. You have to unscrew the 2 front screws holding the roll cage though to get in there easily. Fit was good other than it touching the plastic roll cage in 2 spots you see circled in red so I wrapped some heat resistant aluminum foil to keep it from melting my plastic. I suggest you do this before installing the exhaust to make it easier.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I will be testing it once I finish my radio tray and bleed the new hydraulic brake system.

have any pics wiht the body on? did you need to trim the body at all?

 

[[AK]Zip]

Yea I will need to trim the body for sure. I haven't done so yet as I just got the exhaust today. I will work on that this weekend and post up a picture of the body trimmed on the car.

The reason I bought this and moved my Jetpro to the Leopard was because I wouldn't have to trim away as much of the body.

 

[naftausa]

it seems wonderfull... please add pics when u mount the body..

 

[[AK]Zip]

Here you go guys. FG Baja with DDM Dominator exhaust and body on. Hope you like it. Servo tray finished so just the hydro brakes mount and bleeding them.

Have a look you can see a total of 3 places had to be cut out to fit the exhaust. Only the side area was a large one. The other 2 were no big deal.











Thanks,
Alex
