Thanks but the bartolone pipe used in that build is the torpedo version for the 5t which is a little different. Please see attached picture for the version for the 5B.

Not sure you'll have to wait for another reply??

I really like the Kraken Sidewinder cage and body, but i don't want to spend all that money if im not sure the pipe will fit. I asked Kraken RC but they don't know, but they assume it will fit. But i cant use "assume" for anything ?

assume

Assume nothing?????
I have the kraken sx5 on order I'll be using a dominator pipe??

I'm sure Milo modded the 5b pipe to fit the 5t

My bigbore ALX pipe fire inside a blade cage with small mods and it's a big pipe.

It's not a dent it's a precision notch ??? to clear the cage. I'm so glad I didn't buy that cage honestly, making my pipe for the tc cage was hard enough, that tiny ass cage would be next to impossible

Knowing a bit behind the science of 2 stroke pipes..... they work like an echo inside the chamber ........wonder if the dent has an impact on the pipe performance?

Probably does but very very very little, unnoticeable.

The bracket that mount to the frame I had to slot the hole longer to push it in closer to the baja itself. Also that a clearance notch, not a dent ?

Highly doubt it did anything for power decrease. If I were to crush half the pipe then certainly. After watching that fact being disproved many times about dents you really have to mess up a pipe to impact the way it performs
