The 0801 has a little more bottom and doesn't peak out quite as high in the rpm's as the 2047, the 2047 being basically a top end pipe.
With the 5 Port the 0801 will give it wicked bottom end and ok top. The 2047 will be smoother on the bottom and rev out a bit more on the straights.
You may also like to try the 2047 pipe with the slightly longer header off the 0801. This in effect gives you good bottom and top, but maybe a little less economy. Works good on the 7 Port, never tried it on the 5 Port.
If you want to run a GO pipe, I would run the 0801 on the 5 Port for killer bottom and mid range power, which is where you normally need it the most, unless you are running an open track with long straights. Then go for the 2047.
Just to confuse the issue, one of the best pipes I ever ran (if not the best) on my Gen 4 5 Port was the Dynamite 086. This is a short chamber top end pipe but it matches up to the 5 Port very well, giving great bottom end (which the 5 Port has in abundance anyway), and drawing extra top end power out as well. Very good value for money too. Hope this helps
