Just place a backorder with them and they will save one for you when they get them.

+1!! The 2013 is definatly the best truggy pipe hands down! And I keep both the 2013 and 2057 in my box depending on track conditions for buggy.Here in So-Cal there are a lot of short run big jumps that the 2013 comes in to play. When the tracks are more normal without to much crazy stuff then the 2057 is on there.

I have ran into a couple times where there was lets say one single triple That no-one could clear, And with the 2057 could not either, but with the 2013 I could. It saved about 2 seconds per lap from the other guys rolling it. So both pipes are good to have on hand to have all our options covered

im running the b5 on my mbx6 with the 2013 pipe and i still can not get 10mins run time 950 and it dies at that mark... i got a 9901 pipe would that get me more run time?

Run time depends on so much more than just the engine and pipe combo. Tune, traction, track style, and throttle control are the top four additional factors. With my B5 & 2013 combo I am always sure that I have great milage and I'm not worried about getting passed in the pits, even with my heavy trigger finger. If your not getting as good or better milage than others at you track you need to identify if you tune is off or if your spinning the wheels too much out of the corners, or if there is some other problem. Try the 2057 pipe too.

I've never tested the Novarossi pipes on our engines but some things that I know will work.

a) Pick up a 2057, this alone will gain about 30-45 seconds.

b) Limit the throttle opening of your servo to say 70%. You probably will not even notice a difference in performance but you will notice a difference in run time!

c) Go with a 6 or 6.5mm reducer. Each step down will add about 20 sec. or so of run time. They will only affect the top end so the results are similar to B above in that you will probably not even notice the difference.

d) Go to 25% nitro. You will have slightly less punch but gain about 15-20 seconds.

e) Go with a colder plug. This will allow you to lean the engine out more, increasing run time and also increasing power. You will however need to be a little more accurate on your tune (sweet spot is not so wide).

f) Stick on some fuel filters lol. If your track does not tech tank capacity adding a couple of fuel filters is the easiest way to gain 30+ seconds of run time.

g) Last but not least while driving concentrate on rolling on and off the throttle smoothly. Also if you are one of those drivers that are constantly blipping the throttle when going around corners, sounding like the person holding the radio is having and epileptic seizure, try to stop doing it. Every blip is wasted fuel and some of these guys probably do it 40-50 times per lap!

Give some of these a shot!

and I must ad if you are one of the throttle jockeys...
wheelspin is going to be the number cause of lower fule mileage.
however if your getting over 9 minutes it sound just a throttle epa adjustment can do the trick. I usually set mine to clear what I need then leave it alone, it normally hovers around 89 percent give or take a few.

I have personally seen a B5 2013 combo go 13 minutes from start to dead empty 3 times back to back.

i no track conditions play a lot in runtime but could you notice a huge difference in runtime from the 2013 to 2057?
