Want a New pipe

[KauseKaos]

Well my Beetle body broke in the rear. It was my fault I kinda hacked to much to get the DDM top end pipe to fit. I want something thats just as good but where i wont have to chop up alot of my next body. Samba nice but its just way to pricey. What other options do I have?

I was just lookin at 2 other threads with that pipe. Its seems ok and cheap. But just not sure about it.

depends if it's a marder beetle or monster beetle.

I believe you have the marder beetle. the jet pro marder pipe would still need some cutting. I wonder how the st one would fit?

I love this pipe but wonder if it would fit under the body on a marder beetle

correct Marder beetle. I was thinking of selling my DDM torque pipe and getting a pipe for the beetle and putting the DDM top end pipe on my MT

hi mate im running a victory rc pipe on my marder beetle never had to cut my shell fits perfect not hitting rollcage or body shell we spent a fortune on body shells then cut away loads of it and weaken them

With the same pipe, tub and fibreglass body I had to cut a little different. I think the tub has it sitting a little higher because the pipe was just under the wing

That victory seems to cost just as much as the samba

 

[KauseKaos]

Between the VRC and the Samba which is better?

Cant say for sure, I only own the Victory and can say this, John is running a 2wd stadium, stock 260two bolt, with the black FG tuning pipe that came with my kit. I have a 4wd, stock 260two bolt, and run the Victory. There is a HUGE difference in performance. We thought the stadium, 6lbs lighter and no front wheels to turn would be faster, not so. Even with the extra lbs, and 4x4, I walk off and leave him from a dig, at speed, whatever. He's going Victory just for the sound alone, they sound like 125cc dirtbikes with this pipe. Trying to get a vid posted so you can "feel" the sound, its way cool. :cool2:

ive heard allot of great things about VRC, which is going to be my next pipe.

ive got the jetpro but its only good up top.

 

[Trip]

That's what my porter said too, but my JP just added a ton of low and some mid...

 

[sperera]

is it geared low?

 

[sperera]

when i went from stock muffler to jetpro silenced i noticed it actually lost some low but picked up tons of top end.

 

[Trip]

Stock gearing...

I noticed the exact opposite! Isn't that funny!?! I had better top end with the stock can!

I have the silenced version 1...

When I put in the cy GP290 (my current motor) it was like I strapped on an anchor, this motor does not like the jp pipe, my porter says it's because the exhaust port timing in the 290 head is too short and the jp needs a longer exhaust duration like the Zen 26 and 23 motors have.
