fg big power pipe ?

[blackrain]

I'm looking at a fg big power pipe for the fg sportline. I currently have the fg one piece tuned pipe on my car is there a big performance difference between the 2 pipes.

hi buddy, i cant tell you the difference as ive never owned or seen them in action, but im sure ian oddie dynos his engines with the fg big power pipe so i guess it must be good!

Ian does dyno all the engines with a Meikle big power as "the standard pipe". It is better than the sportsline pipe but why do you want to change? the sportsline pipe is very good all round.

thanks for pointing that out mate,i was unsure.

That pipe was one of the reasons i fell in love with the sportline. I think it looks really good on the car and hopefully performs even better than my current pipe meaning more speed. I am currently watching a used one but if the gains are very minimal i wont bother with it.

thats what my 29cc oddie hit 6.6hp with

I bought one of those when they were on offer 18 months ago at Hobbythek!
ONLY JUST fits inside my F1 GTR body, with a little 'wrangling', without directly touching.
OK, I had to cut the manifold so that it wouldn't touch !!!

Sounds beefy, smooth, almost 'cultured' for want of a better word ... and not too loud either.

looks like i made a mistake my pipe is a basic stock pipe $55 bucks at fg supply. This is what happens when you buy used not being actually shore what is what.

 

[blackrain]

you guys have any experience with samba 5

 

[Mike1970]

I had one on my contrast as a standard fit from new. It's a good pipe but not as good as the samba 7 titanium.


Your pipe if good and suits your car, anything else would just be a waste - save your money or spend it on cake.

well i ended up picking up a samba 5 used couldn't resist.

So have ran it yet? Any improvement over what you had?

 

[blackrain]

Haven't ran it yet still need to mount it on car.Plus my monster beetle is at local hobby shop getting fixed and they have my remote wich sucks, because i use one remote for all my vehicles.

Some one was telling me to put gas treatment in my gas if i'm not going to run for a while. Do you guys do this?

 

[hyper 78]

maybe just drain the car,get fresh if you leaving it for a few months to be safe

I'm glad i bought it, There was all around gain in performance especially on the topend and its a pretty quiet pipe.
