I just wish buying a quality replacement muffler didn't cost a quarter to half the price of the scooter. My OEM exhuast cracked within 3 months of buying the scooter. A year later I am still waiting on my warranty replacement so I ended up buying a eBay shorty exhaust just to get back on the road. It was $100 delivered and haven't had any problem with it sense.

i agree on the price they are nuts! as for the cheapos be better off with a soup can and steel wool! supertrapps are great had alot on my dirt and dualsports pricey too but worth it for longevity and tuning by adding or removing discs. answer makes or made?? good ones too on mine (A 80 cc kit) GY6 if i were to change the exhaust i'd look for XR75-80 silencers and cut,weld, or slip it on my stock headerpipe and do the A/F. i just drilled out the stock one on mine trying to keep the noise down the secretary of war... ah... better half dont like loud pipes.. plus the mufflers i've seen for scoots on the scooter sites are a gimmick IMHO... flashy then trashy.

i purchased mine from amazon and it works great. they had a few of the 80$ ones that are identical to the ones on ebay but i went with the 120$ one. just a little advice, AVOID!!!! any after market mufflers that have rivets!!!! the carbon fiber one that i had on my scoot had rivets and was also poorly packed. all that held the packing in was sheet metal with a bunch of holes in it. after a few backfires it blew the packing apart into smaller pieces and then started blowing out of the muffler. the muffler i got from amazon was a little more expensive then the 80$ ones but mine is all WELD no rivets and it is glass sealed on the inside, so none of that sheet metal that has a million holes. heres a link if you want to see it. www.amazon.com/Scooter-Moped-Performance-Steel-Exhaust/dp/B005H98RGI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1333937540&sr=8-2 and yes alley does have a very nice muffler that is in fact tunable.

as for the muffler packing BC back in the 80's KERKER exhaust and answer DG (damn i'm old!) anyways they Manufacturers wanted 30-50 bucks back then for repacking material the same fiberglass that was in home heater or A/C filters 1.50 and some paper tape to hold it in place LMAO!! i'd use fiberglass if i was racing off road in USDA aka forests and steel wool packing when it was desert or baja time we drilled out the rivets and put never seize on stainless screws out west here no rust probs coz we are in the desert whole different animule/animal in yer neck of the "woods" eg rust salt water etc

inside the carbon fiber muffler i owned, it also had the very cheap fiberglass packing. it worked great for a few days but after most the packing blew out, it would get hot and the resin coating would form dark spots and flake off, finally one day it caught fire at a stop light had to pull over and put sand on it. believe or not the muffler was still in great shape besides the fact the packing was gone. i drilled out all the rivets but could never get the ends to pull off. i think they tack welded it together. i tried all my tools, my table vice, a person on each end, tied to a tree and pulled with a car on one side and rope on other. couldnt get it to separate. so finally after 2 days, a few attempts each day, i gave up and ordered a stainless. i also was thinking about putting a dirt bike muffler on mine because they were cheap but i sure bet that it would have been super loud and may not have the proper back pressure thus causing the rings on piston to break.

well some of those supertrapp universals are going for around 100 on ebay. i'll probably do that my self one day, hopefully they are good for their size I'm hoping to keep it quiet with out loosing power.

This seller runs deals every once in a while I bought mine for $100 plus free shipping.

Here's the video I made of my bike after I installed it.

you will have to adapt it to your header pipe but, I promise it's hand made in the USA with real steel, stainless i think.
