What's a good pipe

[Bigbird]

I looked through the forum and didn't see a topic on pipes. I'm putting together a Zipp 12 hydro. I bought a 12 Picco 3 port car engine and I was needing info on what pipe to run. Also where to buy a pipe.

Thanks

2.5 macs worked fine on mine...

Glenn Quarles makes a nice .12 pipe. He doesn't always have them though. The Macs pipe works real well too.

the competition marine .15N pipe works pretty well on mine. I've seen all of the above pipes work well as well on other boats.

The 80.529 mph record was set with a 12 size Squarewave. Seems to work pretty well with the NR12.

Here is the #3 vote for Mac's Pipe. Reasonable price and you can probably get them on this Forum or get it through Tower Hobbies. That's where I got mine. Makes the .12's run pretty good. There are better - more expensive pipes out there, but if your trying to make the Wife happy - stick with the MAC

yep,,,,macs 1110 will do just fine... i have a pipe in the works that should work well on .12-.18 engines,,,but that will be some time before they are produced...alot of testing will need to be done....

I've got 3 of the Mac's and a Texan .12 pipe plus an OPS 3270 that I want to try out which is very similar to a Mac except with a larger intake pipe.

I've got an old Trinity/Picco/Nova Rossi that has been in a rigger before but is now sitting in a mono. If you really want to wake it up, get a Nova Rossi carb for it, it will slip right in! My mono went from running wet to being barely on the water with just that change.
