Pipe & Manifold for OS .18TZ in a Kyosho RRR?
 

I'm looking at putting the O.S. .18 TZ (P) engine into a Kyosho V-One RRR.

I am unsure which exhaust combo will work let alone work well. I'm going for a balance between torque and fuel consumption.

These are what appear to be my choices.....

A) O.S. T-2050SC Mark Pavidis Tuned Pipe With Manifold (Welded Nipple)
B) O.S. T-2060SC WN One Piece Tuned Pipe With Manifold (Welded Nipple)
C) RB Concept Polished Exhaust Manifold .15-.18 (Revo/On-Road) made just for the OS .18 TZ engine- With unknown pipe

???

Thanks!

EDIT: Nevermind, I just realized the to O.S. exhausts I listed above are 180 degree manifolds and I need a 90 degree. Looks like the RB manifold is it.

Any suggestions on a good pipe for it? How about the Novarossi EFRA 3005 One Piece Tuned Pipe (No Manifold)?

Ok, O.S. says the best pipe for thie engine is the "O.S. Tuned Pipe T-1040 L52 Left Side". So I will orde that tuned pipe.

They (O.S.) then said the header simply depends on what the car calls for.

So would the "RB Concept Polished Exhaust Manifold .15-.18 (Revo/On-Road) [RBD01801P]" that is made just for this engine be the right shape/fitment for the RRR?

Thanks!

EDIT: Ok check me on these 2 before I order one of these sets:

Spring Connect:
Header - "OSMG2608" T-1040SC L-52 – 12TG/TZ
Pipe - "OSM72106310" T-1040SC L52 Left Side Tuned Pipe
Exhaust Seal - "OSMG8871" O.S. Exhaust Seal O-Ring (2)


OR

Non-Spring connect:
Header - "OSMG2617" M1001 – 12TG/TZ
Pipe - "OSM72103051" O.S. Tuned Pipe T-1040 L52 Left Side
Joint - "OSMG8875" O.S. 15RX Joint Tube
Exhaust Seal - "OSMG8871" O.S. Exhaust Seal O-Ring (2)

It's better to order the non-spring connect right?

Ok, I just placed this order with OmniModels:

vantage racing makes one for your car vantage racing SS120L-17
work really good its made for 18tz ther site is vantageracing.com

Damn that would have been sweet too with their HD1817. Dang it lol. Would have been about the same price.

I just did a search and every thread people are complaining about them cracking/fracturing too easy. I'll stand by my choice in getting the O.S. exhaust :)

Got my O.S. manifold and pipe Saturday. Looking at it I can't help but feel like I made a mistake by not going with the spring connect version. Something about zip-ties holding together my exhaust lol.

I think I might order up that carbon Vantage exhaust and give that a try too.

How is ur 18tz car top end speed performance??
