Default R/C Cars....

So I placed an order through AMainHobbies. Picked up the following;

~ Traxxas Slash 4x4 Ultimate with Amsoil body
~ Dynamite Traxxas Startup Tool Set (Don't have any tools here in Iraq)
~ Traxxas Body Clips (Keep in hand)
~ Traxxas Cooling Fan: Velineon ESC (Don't want to overheat)
~ Dialed Inc Short Course Truck Carrying Bag (Storage and traveling)
~ RPM Rear Bumper (Protection/Bling)
~ RPM Mud Flaps (Protection/Bling)
~ RPM Front Bumper & Skid Plate (Protection/Bling)

Have a couple things in my wish list I'll order when I get the Lipos as well.
Leaning towards the MaxAmps LiPo 9000XL 7.4V Slash RTR Kit.
~ Robinson Racing Extra Hard Steel 5mm Bore .8 Mod Pinion Gear
~ King Headz Aluminum Motor Mount w/Bearing

Then continue with my post, plz:
I know many people dont like this idea, but...
Say, if I extend my Hpipe just like the way HKS does to its Hpipe, would it decrease the sound/drone on my GreddyTT?
I know it'd decrease air flow but since it has bigger, dual pipes, I dont really mind.
what do you think????

Oh and resonators are not optional since there is no space for them.
Xpipe is an option but I want to see this Hpipe option first.

Thanks, guys!


Only way to decrease drone is to add resonators/mufflers.

Yes I am running stock cats.
And I went to the muffler shop to get an idea of putting resonators on but there is no space for it...
anyway, it's just something I want to do, if there is nothing we can do then it's cool. I can live with it.

Sounds to me you should sell that Greddy and look into the Tanabe Medalion Touring. Also do not run any type of cat-deletes. You'll sound like a teenage Vatozoned Civic! Maybe look into a y-pipe.

Can be purchased locally (Spring) here; http://www.importpartspro.com/t70073.html

Thanks for the info, Rob!
I had the greddy SE, which was just an axle back, and I preferred that over tanabe still.

I'd live with the sound of GreddyTT, haha

There are a bunch of events posted on the Z Club of Houston's Facebook page. I do my best to get addresses and keep it updated. Hopefully they are sharing the events at the Z Club Monthly Meetings.
