RD Logics Traxxas 2.5 Curved PipeInstallationThe first thing you'll need to do to install this pipe is to remove the motor from the chassis. Once that's complete you'll remove the stock pipe and header by unscrewing the 2 bolts that secure pipe to the motor, with a 2.5 mm hex wrench. Notice that in the pictures below I've also removed the EZ-Start motor and air filter. Removal of these items are not necessary, but I've done so for clarity. The exhaust side of your motor should look similar to the following picture.
 Now using the bolts that secured the stock pipe to the motor, reattach the RD Logics header in the same fashion as the old pipe.
 Slide the silicone coupler onto the RD Logics pipe.
 Push the pipe onto the header and make sure the exhaust port on the pipe is facing down.
 Now attach springs between the header and pipe flanges using needle nose pliers. One side of the spring will fit in a hole on the header flange, while the other side of the spring fits into a hole on the pipe flange. Once that's done, reinstall the motor onto the chassis.
 You'll need to bend the pipe hanger that came with the pipe set so that it will match your mounting location. Once that's done you'll slide one end into the lower hole in the pipe mount and secure it with the supplied grub screw. The other end attaches to the chassis in the same fashion as the stock pipe hanger did.
 Make sure, when bending the hanger, that you allow enough clearance so that the throttle linkage, flywheel or anything else cannot contact the pipe.
 Also ensure that the bottom of the pipe exhaust port is higher than the chassis braces, and that it isn't rubbing the chassis plate. This will help prevent damage to the pipe while running the truck.
 Here's a picture demonstrating what I covered earlier. Due to a clearance problem the innermost shock mounting hole cannot be used, as I mentioned, I'm using the middle mount for the shock. Even though I'm using aftermarket shocks, this applies to the stock factory shocks as well.
 Once everything has been reinstalled, you're ready to go for a spin.
