Rate this exhaust!!!!

[ThisGuy]

I just ordered this on Sunday. How is it? Can you guys rate and let me know the pros and cons? Also would this "big bore" exhaust add hp?

looks like a pretty standard china one, i doubt very much if it would give u anymore power unless its larger than the exhaust your taking off, and if it is bigger it would maybe give u 1/2 a pony if your extremely lucky lol. just watch out that it doesnt fall to bits, all the china ones ive had have vibrated every pop rivet loose

What engine are you putting it on? It looks identicle to the one on my wifes 125, as for hp gains...

yea mate, thats the same exhaust on my atomik (or it looks to be) the muffler looks the same, which is a good thing because it puts out a pretty nasty note! as for hp ganes, the only way to increase hp from an exaust on a 4 stroke is to match it with your cam grind, so unless you've done that , or your old system was super restrictive, then i doubt you'll feel any difference.

Its going on a stock 125cc engine.



Thats what the stock one looks like. It seems like it has a silencer on the inside. Also, the hole on the muffler for the new one is way bigger and more open. And when you said that it has a nasty note did you mean it in a good or bad way?

Nah mate, you can't locktite rivets. Just keep an eye on em, and if any fall out you just buy yourself a rivett gun and rivetts. Dont cost much and easy to use

Lol what if I get some heat resistant glue and coat each rivet with it?

Nah mate, wont make any difference. Here is a quick vid on how rivets and rivet guns work

Nice one Tim!

Also don't try and hold onto your bike whilst it back flips over your head when doing a hill climb because this will also destroy the rivets in your exhaust!

Or if your pipe is hanging on tie wire, and your rear wheel hits it
