While they do feel similar, it's very easy to feel the difference between the two pipes. The real 2060 is smoother and gets better fuel mileage. The RE10 is a good substitute if you can't afford the 2060, but the 2060 is still THE pipe for OS engines.

Probably so, the OS engines have so much power, most club racers, can't use that much power anyway, the diference in price you could almost buy another set of tires, or 2 gallons of fuel.

I agree. I actually use an RE10 sometimes. It is a good pipe, but the 2060 is better. The RE10 is a better deal, but if you want the most out of an OS the 2060 is the pipe you want. You can find 2060 sets for around $120 on ebay. Still pricey for a pipe, but better than the $160 that they are sold for at many places.

Why not buy both. This hobby is not cheap. Go big or go home.

Been there and done it! After having so much of one of these and one of those, you wind up broke, with a bunch of RC sh*t, it's not worth a quarter of what you paid for it, and nobody needs one, I guess thats what this hobby is all about.lol

Indeed. There's no two ways about it. If you want to compete you MUST have a high quality muffler bearing.

Its the Cats As* when the cold weather rolls around...slap it on a couple races prior to yours and you'll be nice and toasty by the time your race is up.

I race in MN in the WOR(winter offroad) series and its a Big ol Dome with no heat....the Comp heater made my life So much easier im shocked guys have a problem paying what they ARE worth.
