Thanks!

What are some good pipe choices for the original C6? I have a 2045 right now, are there any others? my home track is a big one, lotsa room for an engine and pipe to stretch it's legs.

RB Tuned pipe Truggy THG02 aka La Bomba works very well with C6 or just stick with 2045 or 2020

If your using the 192 header, that combo is the best your gonna get, how much more do you need? that motor is insane as it is?

What range is the 2045 pipe? How about the 2020? Do either of the Dynamite pipes work well with these? Which is better for fuel economy?

The 2045 pipe is very linear, I think it's the best for the RB engines, the 2020 is a bottom end pipe, if using the RB header, the 192 is good for mid to top end, best for big track, the 198 header is mainly for more bottom end, best for short tracks, the Dynamite pipes are okay, the best Dynamite pipe for the RB's is the 086 pipe, overall, IMO, I think the best economy will be from the RB pipes.

Thanks!

I've got the 192 header, think I'll just pick up the 198 for when I'm running at tighter tracks. Sure beats buying a different pipe all together

I tried some different pipes for top end on my C6 and you can really tell the difference, but my lap times are always faster with a little less top end and a whole lot more bottom running a JP3 pipe. But the style of driving I think has a lot to do with it to, some run big open turns wide, sorta relaxed mono speed with little brakes, I run aggressive pipe to pipe on the corners the shortest way around the track and use lots of brakes with lots of speed changes.

Also, I posted this on the other RB thread in Onroad Nitro Engines but not sure where I would get better responses.. so I'll ask here too:
I pulled up the manuals on rb's website. The only difference between the WS7 and the WS9 is the head, I guess they keep making them lighter?

That's one thing I noticed RB doesn't really make a lot of drastic changes and now that Rody left RB I wonder if we will just get small things like this. Oh well not a problem I have WS7 L2G and really like it.

I have found that the O'Donnell 97t is the best plug for my WS7III L2G or C6 L2G. I also ran the 2045 pipe with short header on the C6.

Has anyone ran the RB 2020 pipe in a truggy? If so, which engine did you use it with, and what kind of fuel usage and powerband did you get?

The 2020 pipe is awesome in truggy!!! I always run a 2020 with a 198 header in truggy to get every last bit of bottom end out of a C6. The other thing I really like about the 2020 pipe in truggy is that the stinger is soo short you can set it in the truck so the stinger does not stick out of the body at all. This is good for when marshals decide to grab your truck by the sides... it won't kill the engine.

Good to hear. Thanks for the info. I am thinking about using this pipe with a C6 BBT in my truggy.
