Which tuned pipe is best for a savage X 4.6?

I relly want one with low end. But the best pipe would be an all around good preforming pipe.

Ok, I am running the stock pipe right now so even a little up grade is going to make a huge diffrence in ferformance.
Is changing a exhaust really worth the money? Is there some other up grade that I should buy first, maybe a three speed or reverse unit.

id advise against reverse. i hear there crap.

the 3 speed isnt worth it until you have the power to move that taller gear.

are you running stick fuel line? if so, upgrade that first. 3mmfuel line is alot bigger then stock. then do exhaust.

What about those twin exhaust pipes? Are those any good? I like those because the exhaust exits out the back and the oil doesent get stuck on the Chassis. I can afford the THS pipe, but the place I shop at only have the hard coated version.

HELL NO! those RDLogics pipes are nothin but trouble. you might as well run it straight piped. if you want a good rear exit, go for the tsais one. its not actually in production yet but it will be soon.

if you want the low end power get the ofna 086. Its a great pipe and will really boost your low end!

053 is a great low end pipe 086 is a better top end pipe. Dynomite is the best priced!

Just my two cents

i will running with a savage outlaw race pipe once i get my engine broken in. apparently its really loud as its only 3/4" in diameter but it does give you more low-mid grunt.

If your bashing, I would go with a Buku pipe.
