over the winter performance mods

heres just a couple things i,ve been doing to my 97cc 4stroke lifan over the winter

1 - i fabbed up a stainless steel exaust
2 - shows the baffle with slits cut in on the band saw
3 - the baffle tube after hammering in the baffles
4 - the ported adapter plate i made to fit a MR GASKET chromed air filter
5 - the air filter

the baffle will be wrapped with fiberglass , and still needs the flange welded on to fit the inside of the exaust pipe .
i will post a video later of the exaust sound , with and without the baffle .

feel free to post pics of your winter work here , i love to see what you guys are doing .

yes the baffle slides into the exaust pipe , the baffle tube will be wrapped tight with fiberglass insulation , and there is a flange that still needs to be welded onto the baffle to fit the inside of the exaust pipe . once inside the exaust pipe a single screw will hold it in .

my original exaust was made of steel pipe and pipe fittings , i even had one setup as a dual exaust , one on each side , but all the fittings were pretty heavy ,

just tested the baffle , man it works awsome ,

i,m currently making a dummy air scoop for the top of my engine .
i,m making it out of a chromed 4 inch rolled edge car exhaust tip .

it looks sweet on top of the motor ( looks like a blower )

i cut the back end of the exhaust tip off ( where its reduced to fit a 2 inch pipe )
and welded a big soup ladle to the back for the rounded look .

it will have a function ( to cool the top of the cylinder head ) and i,m going to fab up a working butterfly valve for the ultimate cool look .

Here's some pics of my soup ladle blower .
its just a dummy , its only there to add 50hp to the look .

1 - exhaust tip with end cut off and soup ladle tacked on
2 and 3 - pics of it sitting were i,m going to put it

After i make the flange to attach it to the top , i will cut out the bottom portion of the exhaust tip so that it will cool the top of my motor .
And it will have a working butterfly valve hooked up , so it will look super cool when ya twist the throttle .
