whats better a ribbed tuned ported pipe or a smoth tuned ported pipe

 

[robriguez]

the shape has everything to do with backbressure and the bouce-back of the pressure waves to the exhaust port.

From what I've read a ribbed pipe is a good middle of the road pipe. Meaning it gives general all around good performance. The tuned pipes allow you to maximise where you want your powerband. A long sloping cone with a short tube will give you good low end. And sharp cone and a long tube will give you better high end.

I would only assume that by ribbing a tuned pipe is to give better all around performance where smooth ones will focus on one end or another.

HPI s Ribbed will have you pulling the front ones up, if you're running a 14 or 15 c bell. :boxing:

Actually it's the opposite. Long taper is great high end and short taper is great low end. Also as far as the ribbed pipe goes, it looks cool. That's about it though. Don't take my work for it, talk to anyone who makes pipes for a living and ask them about a ribbed pipe and they'll agree it's junk.

[WHOOOOOOAAAAAA NEEELLLLLYYYYY!!!! I've had several pipes and the ribbed pipe is the one that stays on my truck , yep I've had the ritter the hot bodies and of course the stock that my savage 25 came with and the hpi ribbed is the daddy mack. Ol boy wasn't kidden when he said you'd be pullin the front ones with a ribbed and a 14 or 15 cb. Trust me I race in south KC and we have to have our trucks running like hell, and several of us run ribbed I'm not calling BS though!:breakdown I'm always in the top ten trucks out of 25 in the A Heat and I run a 18t cb with a 49t sg and a ribbed HPI. Put that in the ol pipe and smoke it!

lol, sorry to say it but non of the 3 pipes you mention there is in the category of what I would call a GOOD tuned pipe. There isn’t that big performance difference between the 3

 

[Digital Liquid]

So what would you call a good pipe?

 

[Skela]

RD Logics pipes is very nice
THS (don't have an url)
most of ofnas pipes
Picco's pipes are good
Rossis pipes are also very good

I've only heard of these pipes never really seen them , may we see yours because I'm really interested in what they look like, maybe I have seen and just dont know it . I see 30 trucks a week at the track but mostly Tsais,Ritter,HPI Ribbed,Hot Bodies,Bannana Pipe. No Piccos Yet?:nope:
