Need help finding an exhaust
I have a 2023 Wolf Lucky 2 150cc scooter and I'm in desperate need of a new exhaust. I don't want the factory exhaust again because it's already proven itself to be absolute crap that blows itself apart in four months.
I've made two attempts to buy one now, only to receive a pipe that does not fit my machine. The first one had the flange welded onto the pipe at the wrong angle and so it couldn't be bolted on. The second one will almost fit, but the pipe stops about 3/4" short of the manifold and is slightly crooked. Other than physically taking or sending my old exhaust to someone and having them match it to something in their stock, I don't know what to do. Any assistance i will be greatly appreciated!

If you decide to go back to a stock exhaust note this little known fact. The emissions system, including the exhaust, is covered under a 5 year warranty per the EPA. This is for the OEM exhaust. I've used this warranty 3 times on my old Burgman 200 because it kept blowing the inside of the exhaust apart. Also used this warranty on my Helix when the manifold cracked. Just a thought.
I'm unaware of any known aftermarket exhaust for your scooter. All I see are those multi-part Amazon or ebay exhaust that are known to fall apart with little to no warranty or support. I have a NCY free-flow one piece exhaust for my Buddy 125 that I've yet to install. It no longer includes a decibel killer insert and without it the noise is a tad to loud for my old ears, hence it still hanging in the rafters. |

If you don't mind, what are the first 3 letters numbers of the VIN number? The first 3 characters denote who made the scooter. Tank scooters were made By KTM First 3 vin digits 3CG early MotoFino's were made by Zhejiang Taizhou Wangye Power Co., LTD. First 3 VIN Digits LFF. Those letters numbers are used by state DMV's to determine whether or not a scooter can be registered for use on the road. Many years ago I worked for a scooter dealer and knowing the mfr goes a long way in cross referencing what fits what.

I learned about the warranty thing too late to help in this particular situation, but I have gone back to the OEM exhaust and keeping it in mind if it happens again (and it probably will).
The VIN starts with L5Y. The scooter was manufactured by Taizhou Zhongneng Motorcycle Co., Ltd. |
