Exhaust/Muffler Options
Well, I got my '07 Roketa MC-30-150 up and running. I've not GPS measured it but on a flat road it seems like it can haul my fat rear-end (270lbs.) up to about 50-55mph @6,500RPM. =)
I had an issue with the exhaust pipe not staying on the bottom of the block and, long story short, while I think I've fixed that, the bracket welded on the muffler that holds it in place right in front of the rear wheel broke off. It looks like a new muffler may cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $200 - WAY too much. I've been trying to MacGyver something but my metal-working skills (and access to tools) haven't been very successful. Anybody have any ideas? Are the other after-market (read: less expensive) alternatives that will pretty readily fit? Is there a "Macgyver" method that folks have used in the past? |

Thanks for the feedback!
scooterwayne - I'll post some pics tonight. I thought I had it figured it out, but I'm off about the width of 2 quarters (where the pipe connects to the exhaust "manifold" up under the engine). prodigit - The bracket itself was welded on the muffler. I have another idea that I might try, I just want to make sure that the muffler's being supported well enough so as to not cause any torque on the pipe where it connects to the manifold/engine since issues with the bolts/holes there would be way more difficult to fix. inuyasha - I saw those as well, are they pretty much universal with regard to fit? |

 What I meant was are exhaust pipes/mufflers somewhat universally compatible as are parts for the GY6 motor itself?

Hi
Yes the exhausts are for the most part universal but some might take a bit of tweaking for a proper fit depending on the scoot on question Take care and ride safely my friend Yours Hank

Fixed!
After spending hours cutting and drilling thick steel (breaking several drill bits, Dremel pieces and suffering a myriad of metal "slivers"), not to mention about $40 in materials at Menard's I think I got 'er fixed. It took a $4 piece of pipe strap, one easy cut, one drilled hole and less than an hour. LOL! Win some, lose some it would seem. ;o) |
