Well , me again, seems to me that this scooter dosnt wanna ride on ruff roads, anyway , while examinating my rear tire, i found that the scooter was missing a few screws, maybe the preview owner or whoever assembled the scooter did a bad job at it, so i took advantage that i was doing the job to check on the muffler, and found out that the mufler its all broken into ppieces inside, if you shake the muffler, you can hear the pieces inside like a maraca. lol Anyway, i went into ebay to see if there are good deals on mufflers and found price ranges betewen 40 to 299 dlls, so being that the dollar here its very expensive im coming here for advice on what to buy for the best price. the cheaper the better, i do want silence, thats the way the scooter was before, so thanks in advance for any advice.

If it is one of.the silver aluminum sleeved mufflers the catalytic converter in it has probably fell off of the spot weld that was holding it in place. If you have the tools and the patience to.deal with welding thin metal it only costs the amount of time you are willing to put into.it to make it sound good and quiet and still flow well. (First time welding and at that with an arc welder it took me 3 hours to get everything inside back together and back inside)

The mufflers are like the most expensive part on the scooter because of the shipping costs .
