I am using the Reedy 2035 pipe which is supposed to be a good balanced pipe. I selected this pipe since I am running a Reedy engine and the cost was decent to get started. Now I want to understand what other pipes can do for the performance vs. Fuel economy trade-off.

How do you choose a pipe?
Pipes can be hard bro

There is much advice to be had in the forums about pipes but there will definitely be some deep searching involved and alot of reading

Supposedly reedy engines are similar to old os vspec so find what pipes people are choosing for the arrow which i know is identical to old vspec

My guess is 2090 pipe
