I ordered a muffler to put on my bike so far so good building a mount next week maybe have it done soon but it sounds good when I am done I will post a video to youtube
-
Just curious, Arkie; why the new exhaust?
And, can you say which exhaust and how you chose it?
I'm wondering if this is due to necessity or just trying out something new?
thanks

...sweeeet....
-
..arkie is one of the few here that is modding his x500...
;D

It is for an automotive application acutally. I choose it becuase of price and the fact that I have access to a machine shop if needed. It is ROL exhaust brand. I am wanting a more aggressive sounding bike. If I get a performance boost that is just an added bonus.
-
I've often seen reference to a larger exhaust giving a power boost; but never thought about it on this scooter. I have also heard of "restrictors" on small scooters as a way to control their output. But I would think that the Xciting 500 wouldn't be restricting anything. I wonder if anyone knows if there is a restricting action on the exhaust as it comes from the factory and whether the restriction really leads to less power output? Just a thought.
-
It is restrictive in several ways one it is heavy. It quietens the scoot down with extra baffling. When I get it down I will do massive amounts of testing and let you guys know

-
Who manufactors that pipe
-
Delkovic...but as supplied its no good for the Xciting500. its packed with fiberglass which promptly melts goes hard , breaks up, falls out...after 4 repackings with alternative fiberglasses per aftermarket shops it is now packed with stainless steel wool,,initially too loose and all went up one end leaving 75%of the inner pipe unmuffled...the noise!!!! too much man too piercing! so repacked again last weekend with lots more stainless wool packed firm..and now !? lovely. a deep basss mutter on the road at speed and nice whump whump at idle ;D...I think Superwool ( Ceramic fibre) would probably have been ok for the temperature as well but its harder for me to get
