Mahle Pistons

  • Power:
  • Noise:
Rating 4.0

get a set of mahle 4032 alloy pistons unless you're going for very high power levels. you'll barely hear bad things from 2618 alloy piston owners, but 2618's have been known to piston-slap on cold starts, depending on the tolerances of the build.

Pros: good for high power
Cons: piston-slap on cold starts
