Lightbulb Fatty Tuned Pipe

Hello again,

I am making my own Fatty Tuned Pipe with my dad (I am 16 ), and will be posting instructions (a full step-by-step guide with pictures) on how to make it work. The pipe is a pocket bike pipe (MSRP $179) and has a huge chamber in the shape of flames/waves. Hope everyone checks back later to see my awesome creation. I am installing it on a Schwinn Southport Cruiser with a 80CC Spooky Tooth Engine. See you later!

Here is mine:

Second step: Preparing your header!

My stock muffler looks like this:


You have two options now.

(1st: using a pipe cutter ( ), cut off the silencer from the header. It will look like this when finished: )

OR!!!

(2nd: use the pocket bike muffler attachment that comes with your fatty pipe [I am doing this one!!!!! The reason I chose this one is because the attachment is better quality the stock, and you will see later that this will make the appearance sleeker instead of using two different materials.)

My stock muffler looks like this:




Why is the head of your engine turned sideways??? That reduces the cooling effect of the fins!

The pipe i used was very simmilar only the header had a 180 degre turn that with a torch was easly pulled out and the pipe was perfect fit.The only thing i had to do was put a small dent on the inside to make it fit closer to the frame.I would also recomend that you weld all of the joints except the end cap.I sounds yeally good not to loud not to quiet.
