That pipe is a clone of a Novarossi .053. It does run very close to the alum version. These pipes are very stiff so they do not pulse like a true Nova (thin walled) pipe. The pulse makes the pipe run better at extreme RPMs and makes it a little easier to find the sweet spot on the needles. However, you might not ever notice it in offroad applications. From what I have noticed, they are hard as a rock and can take a lot of abuse as well as being very light.
If you like .053s then this would be a pipe to consider. They will wake your motor up but they will also drink the fuel.
For offroad, I have found they like the short headers better. This lets the motor run at higher RPMs and is a little easyer on the bottom to control wheel spin.
They are good pipes.

I like the carbon pipe.
I ran the same engine/pipe setup on my MBX5 and I could get around 7 minutes of runtime on a tank (30% O'Donnell or Byron's), but usually pitted at 6 minutes.
The pipe is extremely tough and they now come with a triangle shaped piece of graphite that can be glued to the pipe to help strengthen the stinger.
These pipes also run very cool; thus less body and mud guard damage due to heat and after a run I can put my finger over the stinger to kill the engine without getting burned (disclaimer: I do not recommend putting your finger on a hot pipe stinger.... I do this at my own risk of self injury

Sounds good. I could be wrong here but when I went was browsing through their pipe selection on a-main. They had a torque version (probably for more low end?) Then they had a one for top end. Which one would most likely be the one that is the clone of the novarossi .053? Or are they both pretty much the same pipes except for the header size?

I have 5,7.2 diff oils. That's what I ran in my Prospec buggy. What oils do they run stock? And also what weight shock oil is stock? As for body paint I have that also just need to figure out a good paint scheme.
