I am mixed on this. Its VERY well made but access to the dipstick is totally blocked.  The photo above is misleading, with the bracket on the top like that you would have room to get the dipstick out but thats not how it bolts up, the bracket mounts on the bottom not the top. It looks great but its too loud. People turn and look...which I dont want... and checking/adding oil is impossible. The muffler must be unbolted and removed to get the dipstick out  Its a cool system for a race bike or a purely weekend cruiser but its not for a daily driver at all. Darn well made but questionable design for the daily driver. Its great for a race bike that would be either on the rack or on the track all its life. The upside is that the quality is far far superior to all others! |

Another cool bonus was a free set of yellow clutch springs LV sends out in the box with all of these systems. |

Still want one and that little funnel restrict piece was that in the pipe by the flange (where you bolt it to the motor)?

i will say that leo vince is pretty good at adding what is needed to the pipe to get things to run better
but some of there kits like the sp3 should have clutch springs and they dont
and the weights that ship with the zx are way to light
i bought a touring and that thing came with 2 diffrent sets of springs and 4 sets of rollers

Just stick a screwdriver in it and wiggle it to break that one spot weld. Its almost like they want you to take it out by putting that sticker on it that says 'removing this will make the pipe illegal for road use' Well if removing it didnt have some benefit it wouldnt be illegal lol That is like...if you want to sell toothpaste...just make it illegal. People would then be on the rooftops brushing their teeth lol |

you get the cone on euro spec pipes that cone is put in there so it meets the requirements to be street legal in most of the eu
but being non of the pipes are epa or carb aproved it doesnt matter as in the us they are all for non highway uses

Cool writeup and it looks great on that scooter. Try again on the dipstick it may seem impossible to check at first but I can get to mine if I hold my mouth just right. Not ideal I know but it is the best performance pipe on the market for the GY6 50 imo.

Not ideal I know but it is the best performance pipe on the market for the GY6 50 imo. It wont even unscrew all the way bro. Impossible to remove. Unbolting the muffler from the header and taking it off takes less than 5 mins..still a bit of a pain though. If your motor leaks oil and you have to check it a lot this would be a major bitch...but midnight doesnt leak. Its not for everyone but for a person with tools its not a big deal I guess. |

TaoTao, Renegade, Boadiao, SMM, Longbo QT-6, Baja..there are lots of names and some are better than others. the Baja and Longbo ones are the best ive seen....Boadiao is good because they have unsealed carbs and factory 72cc motors..... TaoTao and renegade...meh....they have sealed carbs and that gives problems. I would have a taotao over a renegade since they are 63cc...renegades are true 49.5cc and are scary slow lol and the factory wheels and tires are totally worthless. |

I like Leo Vince, good sound and performance, hate that gold thing on mine, wish it had came in at least black, but it's what I could afford at the time.. Can't the mounts be modified to accommodate dipstick access ?

Ran the the same pipe and loved it, the only problem I had was riding on a lot of bumpy roads made it come apart at the end near the header pipe. Luckily we had a wielder at the shop I worked at and just tacked it in a few places and it was as good as new.
