i use the hpi savage ribbed pipe on my mgt and it must have unlocked at least 20% more power from my stock ttr .21

A lot of people like the Fantom pipes on the MGT. There's a specially made Fantom pipe for the MGT, but any of the big block fantom pipes work well.

I also run the fantom pipe... It really added a lot of power to the stock motor.
Now I run the Mach .26 and I am considering changing to a different one.. Just to try it out.

I run the exact same setup as Badboy2 and it is great. I am looking for another 086 pipe for my LST right now.

No, the pipe in the pic is the OFNA 086 pipe with the stock LST header. I wasn't real impressed with the Fantom pipe. I was wrong anyways. I run the OFNA 063 pipe and LST header.

I ran the fantom on the stock TT.21, and I am now using it on the Mach .26.
I have the new MGT coming in the mail.. and I was wondering if anyone has changed the pipe out on it. If so.. what did you put on there, and did it help?
thanks,
adrian

A real good replacement for the MGT's is the XTM pipe for the Mammoth. They can be had on Fleabay for cheap and are great pipes for the money. Use the FT side header and the XTM pipe and you are set.

is the ft side header for the new MGT the same size as the one for the old engine??

Haven't even run the 4.60 yet. Thought I would get a 32 Collari and drop in and unload the TT28. Would this be a good swap? Anyone have any experience with the Collari engine yet?

Skip the Collari. A guy brought one out to our track last summer and it was just plain slow. He couldn't clear some of our jumps with it. He changed that out for his (old, nearly worn out) Mach .26 and did much better. His own words were something to the effect that he'd never wasted so much money in one place before, plus a few things that'd probly get me booted from these boards.

XTM pipe all the way better power from one end to the other.
Plus they are cheap...it really helped out the stocker much quiter too.
Picco .26 loves the pipe!
