Is track large or small
European or US BMX design
Technical or not
Carpet or dirt
smooth, rough or blownout



Without specifying the type of track and track surface, a person might as well go with the factory setup as a starting point.

How about actual speeds, lap times, etc. what are track conditions inside, outside, loose, rough, compacted, etc. as this will help people trying to configure for their type of track! IMHO

an dynamite 053 works fantastic on that engine. its pretty close to JP pipe but cheaper. a JP3 would work also, or for short tight tracks JP1. but i highly highly recommend the 053.

Sounds good, do you know if it will fit inside the stone guards on the MBX6T? I tried fitting the JP pipe and it hits the stone guard pretty bad.
