That is the pipe I used to break in my engine and ran it the first weekend on the engine. I was getting around 9 minutes a tank on a fast track (25 sec) lap times as I pulled fast lap of the weekend with that set-up... Maybe Mo can come on here and say somthing as I'm not sure if he ever drove my car after we put a semi race tune on it or not. But it def doesn't have the bottom power that the 2013, which is what I'm using now. But it gives the engine a smoother feeling...

I've actually thought about going back to that pipe.

So in a nutshell you won't be hurting using that pipe.

Hopefully that will help you out some.

1 more thing to add to my above post. The engine wasn't broke in when I was getting 9 minutes a tank with the re-11 pipe... So I would be bale to get more then 9 now.

Has anyone tried the Novarossi 9901 pipe with the B5? I'd like something a little stronger. I liked the 2056 but it gets damaged easily.

Huh? You sure it's the B5 with this issue and not another model? I do not have this problem what's so ever.

yeah what he said....lol
seriously I ran the re-11 for a few tanks to check it and it wasnt the best but it did get around just fine...One thing I want to point out is that the motor is all around a powerhouse....tons of bottom and tons of top end..
so when I am talking about pipes that work and pipes that are better than others its really a pretty small difference, the biggest difference I can find is runtime... and the re-11 isnt bad at all on runtime, I would like to hear a test with the re-10 as it seems to yield more runtime than the re-11.
but still for me the top choice is going to be the 2056, I will be trying the 9901 just for kicks this weekend but with my driving style the 2056 is a very comfortable combo..
