Since you need a new pipe I would get the rd logics pipe found in the link below,or you can sometimes find it on ebay.
http://www.rdlogics.com/cgi-bin/cate...35S&type=store
Hpi themselves don't make any other pipe for the car except for the stock pipe.I would also suggest getting the racing primerless fuel tank instead of a stock replacement.The racing fuel tank doesnt have a primer...which is a good thing.The primers on the tanks have a tendency to form a leak,its not the matter of if,its the matter of when its goning to start leaking.Also you dont have to worry about the fuel line getting chopped up by the gears,because the fuel outlet comes out the top of the tank.
Here is the fuel tank,it doesnt specify that it will fit the car,but it does.
