~is there any other options besides these 2? how are those aftermarket type pipes, like the 'extreme RC mods' pipes?

-Would there be any benefits to going with a bigger block engine? .25 or .28 etc..i would of thought truggies would need the bigger ones due to weight and size etc..


Sorry for the stack of questions, i do appreciate the help.
If you dont mind splurdging a little more, get the B5 Pro. Drilled and filled crank and ceramic rear bearing make it spool up just a little quicker. But the B5 is my go to engine for truck.

Pipes. I have all 3 Werks. 2013 for low end, 2057 for all around power and good run time. 2058 for top end. But all 3 work extreamly well on the B5. My go to is the 2057 with extender on. If the track ois tight, 2013. Really long, I will try the 2057 without extender and the 2058 to find the better of the 2.

Havent run any other pipes on the Werks motors so I cant say.
And dont worry about getting a .23, .25, or .28. The increase in power ( for racing anyway) does not justify the fuel consumtion/ lack of run time for me. Bench racing is a different story. A good .21 will be better if you plan on racing.
