Thanks for posting this pic Cruiser, its nice to know that there is a setup that reduces noise but doesn't reduce power much. I am a bit irritated by the telltale noise of the 2-stroke, it's loud!

I don't have a great grasp on 2-stroke exhaust technology, I don't fully understand the benefits of the bladder-like setup and why the pipe diameter sometimes is reduced. Does anybody know a website that explains this, or know of a good book on 2-strokes?

I'm working on creative ways to modify my air intake right now, I'll post a pic when I get it setup.
