Just mounted a silenced VCR pipe to my tt5 this evening, To do it I had to mount it to a large x-port through the hole in the back shock tower. It will need a good bumper, it sticks way out. The back brace for the roll cage had to be pulled. For something that isn't designed for the rampage it fits rather well I did some preliminary testing and things are looking good. As soon as the weather breaks I'll do some further testing. Pics soon to follow as soon as they upload
 
When I put it on that was the first thing I started mullin over, makin some protection for the pipe. Its has had a rough tumble or two in its short life span, which is why a stout bumper is the first thing I was thinking about
 
that it is !! it seems that it looked like a jet pro track pipe when I first got it lol. But a little food and water and some tlc and this is what it grew up to be :D
 
Will finish the "bumper" tonight. It will never win any beauty contests but it will do the job, pics to come shortly.
 
Had to do it!!! broke out my 2x and took the pipe off the tt and put it on for fitment purposes. It will with out any Xport but it has the same problem as it does with the TT it sticks way out and would have to mod the bumper and mount for the cage on the 2X. Not to steal my own thread... but... I have tried all the other pipes I own as well. It looks like the HPI tuned pipe will fit with no or little modding. RD logics Sprint mod and unmodded fit. The rear dom will work without any mods but it would probably be nicer with them. The very first thing that needs to be done before any pipe is mounted is get rid of the flex. It is even more pronounced in the 2X then the TT or MT.

Ran the tt today with the "bumper" the engine don't even notice its there but the shocks and springs sure do. I ran it as pictured, with the AT's. It broke the rear tires loose on cement. Of course with a little "encouragement ", like a slight bump, the front end comes up but not too far because the bottom bar acts like a wheelie bar.
