From the states, Stationed in Germany. I have done business with Hobbytek and in fact just got off the phone with them. I will be making the 2 hour drive to the shop for a pipe. Again thanks for the info.
 
Question Timm... Is there going to be any FG's thats you know of? I don't know if I want to have to smoke that many 5b's LOL. Any idea where I can get directions? Or at least what part of the state it is in? I thought Silver Lake was near Muskegon?

<~~~~~Completely clueless!!!

I just found this thread looking for info on the tgn race pipe. funky looking thing and I see one for sale on the forum here, but wanted to find some info about it before I pm'd the seller
 
Running two FG's on my Marders (one I got for £2.41 ) and a Samba on my MT.

Congrats!! I thought it would work... I forgot to mention, If the dents wont come out in the freezer... Fill it and plug it again, put it in a cooler with dry ice, that will be MUCH colder (-105*f) that will really cause the water to expand!

I was thinking about buying one to replace my Jet-Pro silenced version 1... I liked it because it has a spring coupler on the flange. Seems like it would be easier to remove to work on the car..

Unfortunately, I have never seen one run...

It looks pretty similar to the Jet-Pro version 2, and that pipe is supposed to be the cats ass...
 
Ya, I have had jetpros, dominators (both are way too loud for me, never had a silenced version). I was running the fg style ones on both my on road cars and I like the power I get for on road on my semi. no need for more, I have a 2 speed hehe

I spent the night looking at pipes and the stadium truck pipe sticks out oddly and I can see it getting bashed up easy. the tgn pipe seems to dump the exhaust right around the spur gear. finding a pipe that vents the exhaust away from the body/chassis, somewhat protected is a tough choice

right now I am considering the mielke pipe. I ran one racing 8th scale on my last nitro and it performed really well. I just wonder if it will fit without hacking the side of the truck body away
 
That would make sense Benckie, the pipe in that pic from Pipe (wow say that 3 times fast!) says FG on it.

I thought the Mielke pipe was similar to the samba, I guess I was wrong... Again!
