Tried it , thought it would work great , I was wrong

It didn't give it any more low end like I thought it should and took top away , still has a REALLY hard hitting midrange, stock buttplate best

Tried it to. Monty is right. Stick with the stock buttplate.

Monty I have a question for you on a FMS. I am running it in a MBX6 Buggy. Right now I am running the Ninja FLS Pipe on it, but I was wondering what you think would be the best setup for it. I have an 086, 9901, or the Ninja pipe. I race out at Rev and ARC quite a bit here in Socal. Nice open tracks.

Thanks
Nick
