The Samba 8 titanium Racing Pipe gives you a weight saving of 140 grams compared to the steel version. We have tested and optimized the Samba 8 Titan- tuned pipe system for half a year on the engine dyno and an additional three months on various racetracks! The pipe has a new, very strong connection system. This low-maintenance flexible connection between pipe and manifold is secured by four (!) springs, making a failure prone o-ring seal obsolete !
We have also the steel version for $299 just let as know about .

Despite of the increased performance fuel consumption remains the same compared to a Samba 7 pipe. The Samba 8 system provides significantly better performance, i.e. the power is optimally available across the engine’s entire rpm range!

In combination with the Mecatech Expert hydraulic brake and repositioning the fuel tank for about 2 cm to the right, the Samba 8 system can also be installed in C5 + R5 cars!

And in July 2016 at the European Championships in Bolonga / Italy they not only won the European Championship,the complete podium so place 1 to 3 was equipped with Samba pipes.
