Have fun,
Burn nitro.
square header makes a little more restriction and changes the recycling waves (pulses) near as i can tell , the smooth flow will flood the engine with these waves and hinder the top speed on the 9853/053 . it just makes the pipe feel more balanced to me

you guys can use whatever you want , try your own combos , find what works and what doesn't for you . none of us have "the magical pipe" figured because it could change from track to track . these are merely one persons findings in this thread , experienced of course


i havent heard anything about the sig thing yet .
happy motorin',
monty
