    I will let you know as soon as they email me back.
    Thanks Matt. According to forchetto, the pipe is a little over 3 lbs. $45 is way too much for shipping...more than 1/2 the price of the pipe!

    Yeah I agree that the shipping is way to high since it doesnt weigh much but I bet its more like he is selling the exhaust for $100 and paying $14.95 for shipping to save on ebay charges.

    I heard back from the seller and they said they will only sell it as it is listed as a kit which at $114.95 USD will probably be around the same price if not cheaper than Xian Racing shipping to the United States. Xian Racing exhaust comes out to about $90 USD and I emailed them a few days ago about getting a shipping quote but havent heard back yet.

    So I found this;

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tchlink:top:us

    It comes with adapters to fit and the price looks right. I'm in Michigan so the shipping charges aren't very high.

    I also found this;

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=110361010070

    which is pretty close to, if not exactly, what Volksjagger has. The shipping to me is just $9.95.

    I would like your thoughts on both, thanks.

    The first link looks like it would be almost perfect but you might want to try to find out how big it is, it looks a little bigger then the one talked about in this thread so it might not fit to well behind the side cover. If its about the same size I would say try it out.

    As far as the second link, that is exaclty what Volksjagger has and the few thing I dont like about it is its a 2 stroke silencer and I like more of the tucked in look and that pipe hangs out the back alot.

    So ended up getting the first exhaust that I posted above. I like it for the most part. The main problem is the inlet is large and you have to use the reducer. The seller asked me the size and I got the correct one. The problem is when you put it all together, it sticks out the back too high and far. I cut the reducer down a bit and the only way it fits right is if the reducer is slid into the pipe. It works but doesn't look too good. I could cut the muffler and the reducer to see if it fits better but I am leary to do that. Another option is to take off the head pipe and cut and move the stop ring down. I'm going to see if I can find (or make) a piece of pipe that has the correct inner and outer diameter to slip on the head pipe and allow the pipe to slip on....

    Now for the good stuff. Like forchetto says; "what a difference"! It's definantly louder but not overtly so. I did go to the 125 jet but not the larger (what we call) pilot jet. I don't see a need yet. I didn't know where it was until Carl posted the manual. THANKS CARL !!! I couldn't read it but I could see where it was in the pictures (as men, we don't really read instructions anyway). I no longer have to choke the bike to start it. It could be because it's a little warmer outside now but I don't think so. I think it's that the motor just doesn't have as much to "push" against now. I happy with it and it was a total of $78 shipped to me from Canada to Michigan.

    Well I got my exhaust and wanted to share some pics. It was a pain trying to get it to fit up right but I made it work.

    Here is the link to the one I ordered off Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Gy6-S...ehicleQ5fParts

    I paid a total of $114.95

    Here are some pics out of the box.




    I reused the rubber spacer from the stock pipe to move the clamp out from the frame a bit.


    I had to bend the back mount in order to keep it from rubbing on the pipe.


    Here are some pics of it mounted up.






    Here are some pics of the SAI I removed and the blanking plate I made out of brass.
