    for racing, i would recommend either the paris turbo ring pipe, or associated GT pipe. both offer good bottom end response and are legal for racing.

    I've been pleased with the performance of MIP's stinger. Although, there is one thing that I should point; the included rear shock-tower is mounted with only two screws. The screws tend to vibrate loose, and since they are rather difficult to access without removing the engine, I suggest using something like LocTite 425 to hold them in place.

    Here's a link to the pipes: http://www.miponline.com/stingers.html

    Npede, it's obvious that you don't have a Hawk/Stinger combination, because there's only one way to mount the aftermarket shock-tower. I suggest that you get your facts straight before making a fool of yourself.

    The MIP shock-tower doesn't use the factory mounts. Instead, it mounts to the camber tie-rod anchors. In order to compensate for the shift in positioning, the rear shocks are mounted on the front-side of the shock-tower. If I were to attempt to position the shock-tower on the rear face of the camber tie-rod anchors, my shocks would probably bind, and I'd have no place to anchor my camber tie-rods.

    dude, I didnt buy the stinger pipe that is made for the nitro hawk. I took the old stinger pipe off my npede and put it on my nhawk. I still have the stock shock tower on it. I figured it mounted the same way as the stock one. Well use some thread lock or silicone to hold the screws in. Or get a longer set of screws with nuts. Then they wont come out.
