Titanium Color Exhaust Muffler Without Silencer for Scooter Dirt Bike Motorcycle (3)

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  Installed this on my 2005 Kymco Grandvista 250cc (aka Grand Dink, Bet & Win 250) scooter with 22K miles. Original exhaust started to crack at about 10K miles which is a know problem with this model. I welded it to repair the cracks but new cracks formed in different places so this year I decided to shop for a replacement exhaust. The only after market system I found cost $300 and the stock exhaust costs about $300. I was also interested in converting my one piece original stock exhaust into a two piece with a "slip-on" header / muffler to make it to replace the rear tire.My video shows what I did it and how it sounds. I highly recommend this because I believe it provides more noise reduction than some of the mufflers that cost around $30. Even with the baffle installed it provided probably a 40% increase in air flow over the stock exhaust. That killed my scooter's low end torque and reduced top end speed too. While I could have re-jetted the carburetor I like quite exhausts so I added my own custom baffle.Defect: After about 100 miles of riding the muffler loosened up inside and made a noticeable rattle. I removed the black back piece and took out the baffle and welded the metal screen into place. That stopped the rattle noise. I have about 200 miles of riding and the pipe is working good.The pipe adds a deep tone to my single cylinder 250cc engine.
