what kind of RC car do you have? i heard CVECS are very good, but not worth the money, i use a HPI ribbed tuned on my savage, havent tried it out yet tho

What do you have? We need more info because pipes come in Speed and Torque versions.

I don't have much experience with tuned pipes, but I too have heard that the CVEC's are really good.

What about on a Tmaxx? And by best I mean Most Bang for the Buck. Big bore looks nice and big, but its $40. I have heard a couple ppl use the ae TC3 pipe. It is nice and big and only $18.

Any others?

Thanks & Happy Holidays

The best reasonably priced torque pipe for small blocks is the AE gt pipe.

Is that this one? This looks like the one that comes stock on the TC3.

i would suggest a new engine instead like an O.S. CV-R

and just use the stock pipe until you can afford an T-1030

i went to the hobby shop yesterday and picked up a new ofna tuned pipe and header....now i gotta see how it performs

Ofna pipes provide good performance for the price. OS headers and pipes good but very pricey. I do not have much experience with the street force so I do not know what the engine is like and which pipe and header combo would be best. post back with results

aiigh i'll let you know....what i can tell you is that the ofna header was a lot less restrictive at the part where it conects to the block, so im sure i can expect some pretty good gains...

My younger brother and I played around with a few pipes. Switching them around from his car to mine. CVEC was the best I found for bottom end. I first had it on a stock 15fe in my super nitro rally. It made a big differance. Now on my cv-rx it is perfect.
