Hello everyone, I am new to the forum (thank you to Site Jester for the reference!)
I just bought a new Savage 4.6 RTR last week. I am not looking to put a bunch of money into it right off the bat. However, I seem to remember a while back reading that a new tuned pipe should be the very first upgrade you buy for your truck. Obviously, the one that is included with the RTR is...not exactly trick. I would almost say I remember that for the most part, the stock tuned pipes on RTRs are actually bad for the truck, as in they not only rob power but seem to decrease engine life. I might have made this up, but I could swear I read it in a mag somewhere.
Anyways, should I just go ahead and buy myself a new pipe right away? If so, are there any that stick out? Obviously, a Vantage CF pipe would be sweet, but I don't want to shell out $100 right now for a pipe. I was looking at the HPI Ribbed 21+ pipes. It seems like matching an HPI pipe to an HPI engine makes sense, and they are very affordable.
Thank you in advance for the input!
