Say hello to my little loud friend!
So my old POS after-market muffler was cracked and falling apart at both ends... As i was browsing scooter shops and ebay for replacement ideas, I came across listings for 2-stroke silencers and noticed they have a 3-hole bolt pattern, like the after-market pipe my muffler came with. So I found some measurments for the pipe I have, and for a gasket for the silencers... and sure enough, they match!
So... I bought a used OEM silencer for $25 shipped and bolted it to my pipe. Fits like a glove!
It is LOUD... almost silent at idle and light 'cruising' throttle, but when you get into it, it sounds bratty like a glasspack on a car. I can't say it sounds good, but $25 for something of jap/Italian quality is music to my ears.
I plan to nip the curve out of the tip, the sound bounces back bad off everything, even just the street curb.
I've been told it sounds like a go-cart on crack... the scooter performs just as well, so its not restricting it any.
I just though I would share, in case anyone was looking for a cheap and very loud option.
