A while back, over in the boardtracker threads, I came across a comment that suggested that changing pipes on China 2 strokes didnt make much difference.
I knew that couldnt be correct, as all my experience with 2 strokes in the past suggested that if you have a correctly tuned pipe then you can coax much more power outta them.
I changed to the simple 'performance' pipe on this page. It made an amazing difference.
Note that he has developed a more involved design on there too. He claims 74 km/h with a 48cc (carbon frame) with that design.

That pipe looks awesome! All 2-stroke pipes are that way; you can tune them for either low, mid, or high RPM power, but you can't have it all... :(

Good job on it!! (^)

I welded a junk pocket bike chamber to my china exhaust flange...No way it was tuned right for the engine but it made a very large difference in power! Now it's one of the first mods I do with a new kit> Cheap and easy(if you have a welder)

I used an expansion pipe from a pocket rocket. Tuned properly--probably not.
Immediately noticed better midrange seemed to breathe easier. Looks hotter'n **** and snds like an old McCulloch chainsaw my uncle used in the woods.

I've never used any of them but the guys at SBP are members here and take care of their customers. I've only ever seen people praise them for fast shipping and quality products. I don't think you could do better any where else.
