Rick Ritter Pipe
Is anyone running this pipe, or has anyone ever seen this pipe? After being on RCU for a while now it seems that me and maybe 1 or 2 others have this pipe. Its a great pipe and i dont know why people dont like it.

RE: Rick Ritter Pipe
i run it and i like it but i've never run any other pipe other then stock.
the only thing that was a dissapointment with the ritter was the crappy black finish. i ended up wire brushing it off. it looks great when i give it a fresh shine but within 15 minuets of running it looks dull and crappy again.

RE: Rick Ritter Pipe
I loved my ritter pipe. It was soo loud and gave me a bump of power over the hpi ribbed pipe. And it was soo cool looking, haha banana shaped tuned pipes are gansta.

RE: Rick Ritter Pipe
Who cares what it looks like. How does it perform? Torque, mid range, top end? How are the temps with this pipe? Those are the important things. Also, what pipe is it being compared to?

RE: Rick Ritter Pipe
the pipe is hand formed and hand welded steel. i am very pleased with its low and mid response, but the high seams a bit weak. over all performance is an 8 out of 10. the two low factors being, lack of high end and totally crap black paint.
however it does look very "factory" with the paint wire brushed off.

RE: Rick Ritter Pipe
I got mine straight from rick ritter for 20 bucks! It can be compared to the HPI ribbed because they both offer amazing low end power. I would rate th HPI ribebd a 8 and the Ritter a 9. I thought the ritter gave GREAT low end, mid, and decent high end. I have heard that there is a problem with the paint chipping off but i did not have this problem.
if ya know what i mean
