    If i were you i wouldnt get a different one... My neighbor (nitrocarmsn) had tried a different pipe, and it didnt give it any more performance... i have also heard that the stock pipe is by far the best pipe for the 2.5 right now. I am not saying i am right... lol, but thats just what i would do. you coudl also use that money to buy other upgrades that would make a biggere difference.

    The hobby store was trying to sell me the Blue Rippled Pipe. don't know manufacture. He said you get 3+ mph off it.

    Also is there anything to make it sounds different, Like a tip for the exhaust?..lol.

    hey skittzo i have that pipe on my 2.5 maxx and it is better than the stock pipe.

    hahaha 4 your other ?
    you can change the sound with a diffrent tip. go to your hardware store .plumbing section look for a plastic fitting .it has a threaded side on one end and a barb on the other. the barb end will fit over the pipe stinger. you may have to cut it down depending on how much you want it to stick out.

    it will sound louder and better. when ever i run it people ask what knid of pipe do i have

    try it it works

    that type of system will only work on the pro.15 right now iam preety sure of it. but if the header was fliped with would be inline with the rear shock not the shock tower.
