Same Pipe. I just bought the orion also because the werks was on back order and I have a race this weekend. Sounds the same "awsum" and runs the same.

Read the post above. You can also use the Orion 2013.

i heard ethin k's pipe last weekend.... i think it sounds a bit beter than the old ones. if you don't know what this sounds like, it's like an ol' skool 2stroke dirtbike-ish sound... only if your dirtbike sounded like this you'd shut it down cuz it sounds like you're about to come apart!

ya, it sounds like nothing else at the track.

I run the M2C clutch and most of the time its reg. softs with 1.0 (black) springs that will give you good rip . For alittle different feel you can run soft lights with 9.5 but most of the time I stick with the reg. softs

I raced in Round 2 of the Florida Winter Nitro series today. It was the first time with the B5 and it performed very well. I had some trouble early on trying to tune as I somehow misplaced the venturi while sealing the engine (ok the wife moved my stuff and it disappeared). Brett Kingsbury was at the race and spent 15-20 minutes helping me get it tuned and even helped pit for me. I had a great time at the race and eventually finished 5th out of 10 in a combined pro/sportsman buggy main which lasted 30 minutes.

Kingsbury took all 3 rounds of qualifying in pro truggy but had a turnbuckle break in the main. I also watched him help several other drivers with tuning issues without regard to what they were running. He is a great ambassador for Werks.
