Exhaust?

[amstel78]

I haven't received my XB yet, but was curious as to what exhaust comes with the car? Is it the chrome tuned pipe like what's shown in the pictures on Redcat's website or a standard muffler?

It comes with the chrome pipe. It actually polished aluminum.

It's a standard pipe. I recommend you upgrade your pipe ASAP once you receive your XB to truly take full advantage of your XB

It will be inevitable. The aluminum pipes can't take the heat. It will crack and or melt.

My xb one cracked really quick haha

Any suggestions for a silencer instead? Trying to keep the noise level down actually.

A baja high flow can. Quiet but better then stock exhaust imho

Thanks for the tip. I'll look into that.

If you install one of the cans you can add silicone tube to the stinger and run it down to the bottom of the chassis. Keep it pointed at the ground. It will do a great job of lowering the noise level.

I've seen some videos of the XB with a rectangular OEM can exhaust with black tubing attached to the stinger yet I can't seem to find them for sale.

troll through the for sale section over on Rob's other forum http://www.hpibajaforum.com/

ideally you would like to find a 5t can muffler, these produce a little more power than the stock can.

now they are a little bigger so i'm not sure if that would be an issue, maybe someone that has tried one can post up.

the 5t can is cheaper than the x-can and IMO better performance.

Thanks, I'll check there.

This is the only other can-like exhaust I've been able to find that would fit the HY engine:

I've got several take offs. I'll let you have one for shipping costs if you like.

Sounds good. My XB arrives tomorrow so I'll see first hand just how loud the tuned pipe is that comes with it. If it's excessive for my area, then I'll PM you to arrange for an OEM can.

Ok.

I have one that came with my gp290. Got the air filter too. Both never used!
