What is the advantage of the rear pipe?

No exhaust all over the body and parts.

It also keeps the tires clean and oil free which helps alot with traction. The glads have actually held up really well. I usually run my jato on the track so those tires never see pavement. Thats probably why there is tread left...

I just put mines back to stock. My jato kept wheeling, didnt wanna risk messing the pipe up, even tho i have wheelie bar it was still scraping sometimes

Get a deflector, it will pad it when it hits the ground.

If y'all all keep flipping your pipes I wouldnt be surprised to see an aftermarket companies start making rear shock towers like some had for the old Rustler Stinger 360 setup

Something to this setup. Would definitely be stronger than the wire hangar.

very true... I am kind of suprised that none of the companies that made those for the rustler... have not yet made one for the jato.

Man, I am really liking this set up. One tip for the rest of you, Don't allow the pipe to touch the header inside the coupler. Mine was like that and I flipped and bent the header really bad. If you leave some space or us a longer coupler this shouldn't happen.
