It is supposed to absorb the pulses from the engine and improve the performance. I bought it on a whim, and didnt notice much improvement.

someone needs to make a thread (and sticky it) for a step-by-step how-to for porting the exhaust and manufacturing an expansion chamber. with a complete list of tools and supplies needed.

Actually manufacturing an expansion chamber would be very interesting.

I can cover adapting a pocket bike chamber and opening the manifold.

No link it was a live show and not taped.

I just put this tuned pipe from a mini crotch rocket on and it is the bomb.
I had to braze a bracket on the back, and bolted it to seat post clamp.I took a rubber hammer and made a small dent so it would fit frame a bit closer.The header pipe was slightly off so i heated it up and pulled it out .It is a nice looking pipe and it sounds really nice as well.I had it up 36.2 mph on flat ground and it is very smooth.
