I would honestly buy a 2060 or the ninja equivelant to the 2060. The Losi RE10 (copy of the 2060) worked good, but it really killed the fuel mileage. I went from 7 minutes with Losi pipe to 10+ with the 2060.

This was confirmed on the dyno at EB mods. We dynoed both pipes back to back. The Losi pipe made more midrange, but the engine ran warmer and needed to be richer to achieve that power. If we leaned it out, the engine would ping at high RPM and run too hot. The 2060 was a flatter torque band, but ran leaner and cooler.

Moral of story... use the OS/Ninja pipe. Ya, it's more money, but you get what you pay for.

I know Joe Alessi approves.
