my rush has a pretty big exhaust manifold on it with a hpi pipe. would a header give better proformance? what about sound right now the truck sounds like a sissy but runs good

Definately look for something with fewer bends and 90 degree corners than the "log" header that is on the truck stock. As quickly as you can it needs to be able to expand and flow freely to a pipe where the volume complements the exhaust flow and helps develop better power. Yes, it will be louder but not severly louder and at the same time you will see improvements in power.

cool my only outher nitro came with a header so i dont have anything to compar to. i'll get a header tomorrow. i want some noise,my rs4 sounds like a chainsaw and i love it

[stanmondz]

iv got the plastic rs4MT tuned pipe on the truck. is this pipe any good?

[awnelson]

I would spend some money on a pipe. The plastic ones have been known to melt and choke out the motor. See if your shop has a used one for $5-$10 and try it out. It might be enough that you would be happy with the results. Make sure that when you buy one that it will work for your current engine as well as a future upgrade one as well.

no used pipes i dont have enough funds for a new on right now i did get the header though i dont think the pips is melted but the header will induce more heat right?

thanks for the links mike may get the first one

I have two of the first one.. They work just fine They're all metal, and the pipe is a dual chamber.
