Exhaust can for Qingqi QM200GY (aka Qlink, etc)

[firefightermatt]

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.

Matt,

Looks great and thanks for the nice pics! What is you impression of the sound and quality of finish. Would you say you got a good deal?

Yeah I would say it was a good deal for sure!!! The quality of the pipe is awesome, it looks like something that should cost $300. The sound is perfect, it makes this little 200 sound like a 600 and its not too loud, its just a real low rumble. I tried to get a video of it but the sound didnt come out at all like what it sounds like. I would highly recomend this pipe to anyone that wants to bring the beast out in this little moto.

Sound like good stuff! I hope more people put them on as the stock can does make the engine sound a little anemic. Don't be affriad to put some images of the can and your bike in your MCM gallery.

If your trying to capture the sound on video the distance of the camera from the pipe is very important. If you're still interested in trying, start with the camera about 6 feet back and adjust from there.

Yeah the sound didnt come out at all so I will try moving back a bit and see how that works out.

Matt, did you notice any change after you removed the emissions stuff?

[firefightermatt]

It did seem to have a little more power but I dont know if thats because of the exhaust, removing the SAI or maybe a little of both. I still have to change the jets when they come in and thats when I am sure I will notice the most difference.

Ok, here are pictures of the exhaust I installed. Even though I am happy with it, and it was only $68 delivered to my door, it was a ton of work to get it to fit. I do not recommend the exhaust because of this. I can list the steps If someone wants to know what it took. It's longer than forchetto's and Matt's as you can see.

Man, that can is BIG . Looks to be of good quality. The only other comment I would make is that it looks as if it could do with another strap a bit further up and anchored to the original exhaust's second mounting hole, next to the grab handle. This hole is visible in the 3rd photo.

It feels as if the vibration and road bumps might shake the can, and, being held so low down it may move a bit and strain the original downpipe.

[david3921]

forchetto, that's where I had it originally but it pushed the pipe too close to the swing arm. I could hear the pipe touching when I sat on the seat. Part of the installation (besides the milling, drilling, welding, painting, and swearing) was bending the completed headpipe assembly with a long pipe and wood blocks. I think that I might have enough room now to move the strap up to the top. I'll check it with a caliper tomorrow. It is a nice pipe for a great price, though. Just a lot of work.


Matt, I noticed on your nice photos that the canister that was above your pipe is now gone. Was this part of your other stuff you removed?
