Exhaust recommendations for Losi 5t 2.0?

[bigdipperfred]

Any thoughts . and recommendations for exhaust.Zenoah 32 cc engine for all a round use.

I've been running a big bore victory on my 34cc mills and really like them but have been tempted to try a Booster or Olimat.

Victory big bore w/MIP gasket on my 5ive T (Zen G320). BUT..if you do go Victory you may want get this too.

Angle on the exhust header is a b**ch to get one of the bolts tight. I'll take some pics when i get home.

This is the location of the bolt that was giving me problems. The MIP kit(thank you dougstar) is installed in the pic though.


The angle of the header makes it difficult to get a stock bolt tight. It would always back out



Ball ends wouldn't really get in there either....exhaust kept spitting all over the crankcase and rear brakes. The MIP kit (thanks dougstar) solved that issue. Twisted wire keeps the bolt from backing out.

 

[DougStar]

your mod looks very different to the one offered on DDM? get how a wire through a cap screw would work but not on yours please enlighten me

You know what.....you are 1000% correct. Its the MIP kit i have on there. I had the bart kit on the DBXL w/Jetpro pipe. The Bart kit

did NOT work with the angle of the Victory header....same issue as if you were to use stock bolts....i tried the bart kit first(cause it held the jetpro on the DBXL).
** I edited the original post with the correct info.**

I tried the Stage 8 kit next.

Didnt work for me with the either with theVictory header. The spacers put the bolt head really far out and i could never get the those stoppers in a position where they would actually do their job...plus the spacer deformed a litte cause i over tightened it...threw one out...which is why there is only one in the pic


MIP kit works. Regular small wrench to tighten...thread the head and twist the wire. Not possible for it to back out.
Sorry about the wrong info earlier.

hey all good . nice bit of info if i get one of those pipes in the future

I ran a samba on my 34obr..it was good.....but now i run a bart xp big bore and it made a world of difference...

 

[bigdipperfred]

Thanks guys for the input. DDM has a special victory pipe for the new 5t 2.0 . Really don't know what the difference is yet. I know its a big bore pipe made for the zenoah.

Olimat, victory, bartolone, booster are all good pipes. Cant go wrong with any of those

I just got an Olimat pipe for my Losi 2.0. Can’t wait till it’s released, already been preordered.

I have a olimat pipe sitting on my dineing room table just waiting to be plated and for the 5t2.0 to get here.

 

[Whoduh]

Take pics when you get it.

 

[dirby]

[bigdipperfred]

[Mattman1147]

I can’t wait, mine shipped out to he other day Fedex. I got a ton of goodies to add to it before I even start it up.

Im pretty new to this game and all I know so far is what I read, I was under the impression that Bartolini was a pretty good exhaust system but none of you guys mention it. Whats the deal ? I was seriously thinking of getting a Bartolini when I got my 5t , should I be looking at other systems?

 

[evssv]

I gota bart xp big bore on my 34cc 5ive...sweet pipes....as good as any others outhere

 

[Whoduh]

Bart, Victory, Jetpro, DDM, Samba, Olimat, BZM, Booster, Losi.....they are all decent pipes.

I have a olimat pipe sitting on my dineing room table just waiting to be plated and for the 5t2.0 to get here.

Just found out the Olimat pipe for the 5T will not work with the 2.0 version.
Spoke with Simon from Olimat and of course he made it right; 100% stand up guy.
