since you are not a pipe specialist, my gut instinct says you would have no idea what each adjsutment does i'd suggest spending a fwe dollars more and getting this http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXCPX4&P=ML or there is a better one if you are interested

well the tuning idea is so you cna adjust where you want power but sometimes you just dont need to touch it since you're not an expert, i highly suggest the rd logics turbo II pipe

well here is a good article http://www.prestwich.ndirect.co.uk/tunedpipetheory2.htm there is also an issue of RCCA on tuned pipe theory and it tells you all of what everything does, plus, just get a premade pipe, they have been developed for maximum power and since its for an onroad is made for top end power which is where onraod engines are made to run
