It does not matter as long as its the right size. Alleyoop That's exactly what she said.

So, i took the exhaust pipe and broken collar down to the local car repair/muffler shop, and they made it appear to be a major process, as best as my Mexican understanding is. Wanted me to being in the exhaust manifold. I explained it was a scooter, and he insisted I bring in the manifold so he could make sure it was on straight Next stop, Iron Pony. A huge MC dept store. Sells everything from helmets to Indians. The service dept guy had no idea what I was talking about, then said they didn't have a welder. I asked what they would do if I bought a scooter from them, and had this happen? Of course, they'd order a new one, as no one ever fixes anything in today's society. www.ponypowersports.com/showcaseproductslist.htm?Brand=468&Type=1786Next, right next door, Scooter Powersports store (aka CF Moto store) Sure thing, I'll have my welder check it out and fix it. Course, it may take a couple days, but, as long as i can ride next weekend. So simple, but oh so difficult www.partsforscooters.com/180-146-Exhaust-Pipe-Gasket?sc=38&category=138807&whence=Alley Does it make a difference if I use the copper crush gasket or this 'other'one? I got the copper one, this other one/type 2, only costs 2.99, but 6.00 to ship

Maybe you can ask him to build you a new pipe which are thicker by the way. I had my HOTROD buddy make me a complete header pipe and bigger from 1" to a 1 1/4 inch pipe Alleyoop All I can do is ask. Good idea Thanx

HEHEHEHE, Yea that sure would leak, Dang can those Chinese weld or not(NOT) . Alleyoop Yea, not too sure if it was welded or JB Welded. JB probably woulda worked better My concern now, is the thickness of the header pipe, it looks really thin. Hopefully the welder doesn't F it up At least I know what it is, cheap fix and easy re-install, with a new gasket. We'll see on Mon Happy Easter everyone Dave

Got the crush gaskets in the mail today Before I put it in, thinking of switching to a single better perf exhaust, but not wanting to rework the carb (cause it's a PITA to get to having to remove all that body kit)
Just super pleased with scooterparts4less.com

Great! well we know it has to be one of the bigger ones. Since nobody chimed in with the size you be the PROJECT GUY and we will all learn something:)) Alleyoop Actually, Jim said it was 38.75 so it's all his fault it it doesn't fit. (not that there is even that size available) No problem me being the Guinea Pig on this one. Thanx again old guy Dave
