Title: exhaust pipes?
Post by: stejospot on June 29, 2011, 02:14:03 PM

My exhaust pipe broke last week, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to go after-market. So far though, all I can find online is an NHRC exhaust pipe. I thought there'd be a lot more to choose from.

Am I narrowing my search too much by just looking for pipes that fit the People 150? Can I pick an exhaust pipe that would fit any People model? What is the best place online to look for these parts?

Thanks for your help!

An aftermarket exhaust won't improve your 4 stroke p150 , it will only make it loud and annoying .

This might sound funny, but the appeal of an aftermarket pipe for me is purely aesthetic. I just don't really like the stock pipe. It's just that it was never really worth it to me to change it. Until now, since it's broke.

I fully agree that most of the aftermarket pipes I see out there sound a bit obnoxious - I would actually consider it a bonus if my new pipe/muffler was quieter, although I had no complaints with the volume of the stock pipe.

Any ideas? I just don't know where to look...

Juice - I checked out the pipes at scooterworks, and saw the two NHRC ones that I see everywhere else, but not a third one. Is there another one that I am not seeing in a different category or something?

My bad , only a black one and a silver one . Just curious , what's wrong with NHRC ?

Nothing terribly wrong with them IMO...

I bought my P150 used with an NHRC on it. It eventually broke off because of a bad bolt - nothing wrong with the pipe itself. However, when I put the stock pipe back on I noticed it was quieter. From this experience I know that I'd probably prefer just ordering another OEM pipe before going with the NHRC.

Looks like OEM's coming out on top with this one. Thanks for the input!
