Hey i m thinking about buying this pipe from here

This pipe fits my engine (GX15) but what sort of power increase can I expect?

Wills?

Anything fits the engine, but will it fit the *car*?? blackeye:

Pipe tuning is a black art. With 2-strokes, get it right and you might get 50% more power (within a certain rev range); get it wrong and it might be as bad as not having a pipe at all.

Pipe length is adjusted with the silicone joiner and/or a silicone tube at the stinger that you can cut to trial-n-error.

I know about 2 stroke engines, even the silicon deflectors at the end of the exhaust can have an effect, on my old 2 stroke 22cc scooter a small pipe off the exhaust killed power :shock:.

Not sure if it will fit, the manifold will bolt right on but it might hit the tyre or recoil starter….hmmmm

I was thinking of having the pipe on the left (obviously) side outside the shell. Between the wheels.

If i tried doing a hack job with the manifold i am sure i’d wreck it.

If you had tried something just slightly longer or shorter, it could well get it back on song!
