Retro Performance Exhaust #2 review

[Goosey]

I bought this one from Scrappydog, this was the description,

Short slash cut, shark tip, stainless exhaust system for your short case 125/150. Exhaust canister is 340mm long (under 14in) and would look great on a retro type scoot. Works with both clamp-on and engine tab mounts for single shock systemsLimited introductory rate: $139.95

What I liked about this model ( besides that it would look great on a Retro style scoot ) was that the bracket looked like it would fit well, without the same spacer issues I had with #1 exhaust.
The bracket worked, but I did have to do some bending in a vice to get the holes matched up properly. This took several tries to get right, but it was doable.



Next, it doesn't fit under the chrome on the back fairing, the chrome trim could be cut away, but...



If you remember #1 shiny exhaust, I needed to replace my shock with an adjustable one to keep the end from hitting on big bumps, and that was a LOT of room...



So, anybody need a shiny exhaust, lightly used, for a short case 125/150 GY6? Would look great on a Retro type scooter, if it fit...which it won't. Make me an offer.

Sorry that didn't work out. Thank you for letting us know about it though.

Yeah, I ordered another of #1 for the Baron. The stock exhausts have an opening about the size of a dime, and rust so bad I have had to paint them each year. I will have to have a parts sale on what won't fit in these retro beasties. On the other hand, the bracket and pipe that comes with this exhaust works well, with minor effort to match the holes. It just will not work with the Retro, or a lower type back fairing.

you need a shorty muffler.

[Goosey]

A shorty, that lays strait, like the one on the Roadrunner would be the thing. I don't like the angle at all. This muffler would probably look and fit fine on a sporty style GY6, where the fairings angle up above the wheel.

I've owned both them exhaust and they were sold to me as 50cc performance exhausts the one blocking your chrome didnt fit too well and the downpipe snapped in half, now I have the lower hanging one that fits brilliant.

I'm sure these companies just sell their exhaust to any and every market

[Goosey]

There's probably not much difference's other than the curve of the pipe, and the placement of the bracket holes. Though I know nothing about the workings of the exhaust

Goosey here's one at Parts For Scooters that specifically says retro style. Kinda looks like the first one you bought though.

www.partsforscooters.com/190-40_retro_exhaust?sc=11&category=74091 for a 10 inch wheel

www.partsforscooters.com/190-41_retro_exhaust?sc=11&category=74091 for a 12 inch wheel

Yes, that is the one, shown on the white scooter from Partsforscooters.com . I still had to use my own spacers and bolts for that one, and get an adjustable shock to prevent it hitting in the back. This shortened, and with some more work on the bracket would be perfect. It looks and sounds great, and I am putting that on the Baron. So far that is the best option for the Retro scoots I have found.

Are you still trying to sell this Goosey?

[Goosey]

If your interested. The scooter it's on has the 10" wheel, so you can see how it fits. It also has the center strap that doesn't work with my frame. PM me an offer.

I have a scooter very similar to this one that I did up. I got the Oval V8 exhaust off ebay from Carlos at Autotech355: www.ebay.com/itm/Performance-Stainless-Oval-Exhaust-for-150cc-GY6-model-/220569458109?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item335af6d5bd&vxp=mtr.

I then had to cut the pipe shorter and got the welding guys at work to tig it up and do a good job. The I heated it with a blow torch and bent it round on the scooter. I wouldnt recommend doing this because one of my exhaust studs snapped! I got it to fit though and built a custom bracket from the one that came with the kit, using the bolt holes and some stainless pipe and now its solid as. I still need to cut a little out of the scooter to stop it banging when I go over bumps but when I have power down its fine.

Tell me if anyone wants some pics of it
