this ofna jp4 pipe is just too damn loud for me. iwas told to use a pipe with 2 chambers or more. does anyone have any experience with a novarosi 2015 pipe on a lrp 30? what would be the best pipe for it that's fairly quiet but does not rob the engine of too much power?

Thanks again Trickle.
If that's the case then I'm just lost. is it possible that the jp-4 by design is generally loud compared to other 3 chamber pipes? I'm having a hard time believing that the LRP .30 is just making that much noise on its own even with a INS box installed.

Remember this pipe was designed first for a .21 buggy motor with the aim being great fuel economy, very very smooth or linear throttle response with decent power across the usable rpm range. All of these pipes work with the SOUND pressure wave produced by the engine. So at this point based on displacement you are out of the ball park that the resonance of the pipe was designed around.

You guys run PIPES?!?!?!?
Noise!?! I LOVE the noise of PERFORMANCE my NITRO GT8 produces, that why I run Nitro. I would run electric if I wanted to hear swooooossh and my grandmas sewing machine running!!
Hey that's why people go to MotorSport events, to FEEL the noise and excitement!!

Vex , I'm afraid that engine IS just loud. I've been around a number of them and it is one of the loudest engines ever.

So I took the car out this weekend and tried a new clutch.. the BuKu... works great...I like the way it hooked up.... simple design and easy to adjust if needed.... although i didnt touch it... Monty set it for me and it seemed to be fine..
I will rip it out tonight and see if it has any weird wear issues.

I totally agree that they should not be on a GT8 ....

I concur, no adjustable clutches. And no adjustable diffs.
