It's a brand new pipe with barely 5 tanks ran thru it. From what I understand, the JP1 is tuned to improve low end performance. Does anyone have any personal experience with this combo, or give me some idea how this pipe on a B5 will affect it's tuning and performance characteristics? I just don't wanna go into this combo completely blind, so I will be able to identify tuning issues with this specific pipe on the B5 and know if a problem occurs, or that's just how the engine should act with this pipe on it. Any info will be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!

ha bud, if my cents is worth anything to ya, i run this same combo b5, jp1. awsome, i lke this combo, you should not have any problems with this setup. one thing about this sport is that, what works for one guys driven style
does not work for another guy. setups are the samething, i also have 2013 cause fellow racers said 2013 is the pipe to run, but for me jp1, i lke lots crispy bottom. sometimes its all in your finger on the trigger. you might have to lightn up in the clutch springs/ shoes. i also run losi truggy/buggy 2.0, both cars same b5 / jp1 pipe. bottom line to sport you have to be smooth on the finger. oh ya truggy 10 to 12 min run time /buggy some tracks 9 to 11 min. like i said before , train yourself to be smooth with trigger finger. one more thing, alum. pipes not the coated one ther is a diffrence in temps ,from to other
