    Or just go to your lhs, they should have it. Don't forget the mounting hardware. Peace

    I just bought that ae pipe and you no longer need that round mounting bracket. You need a short straight one. Coat hanger works good. I think they changed the deign of the pipe slightly.

    Hi mud duck.
    Was that you that posted the picture of the new AE set-up?
    I saw that it the other day, and it had a different mounting set-up just like you say. Peace

    Hey there Tony I was just checking out your pics. You have a really nice setup. Yea that was me that posted a picture of the ae-pipe setup. When I first got it from tower I thought it was the wrong one because all the others I'd seen were like yours is with the bracket going around the pipe. Other than that I think its the same.

    i have the ae pipe and i really like it. i think your going to like it as well. i have the one tony has without the mounting bracket at then end. i had to bend a coat hanger but it looks really nice .

    if you dont like the look you can always polish it up with your dremel or drill.

    Oh yeah, that mounting design looks easier, does it have a set screw or jsut bend a piece of metal around it?

    Is the AE pipe good for low end torque or top end?

    I was told it was good for low end.

    does it make the rustler pull wheelies?

    One more thing, the AE silicone coupler is one of the best; it's a must. Peace

    Tony is right, the associated silicone exhaust tube is the best, it has never fallen off unlike the stock pipe. If you havent upgraded to a header, first of all i highly suggest it, second if you still have the j-pipe set up, you need to keep that.
    And yes, with the pro .15 and ae pipe you will pull wheelies.
    PS i was wondering if this fit the hole in the ae pipe, it has no dimensions but it is on the most bought items with the ae pipe...
