Moped and Bike Mufflers

Wheel Rush · #1 10-13-2008, 07:53 PM

I spotted a TOMOS LX moped today and had a close look at it, . . it had a quite muffler, and looked like it might fit my 80cc Chengine, I am wondering how many Moped or small cycle engines like scooters and Kawasaki mufflers will fit, can I get one from a dealer ?

why not mount the tomos on a bike?

I'm not sure if I can get one locally, I'm just checking out the possibilities,

I don't know who sells TOMOS LX bikes.

But I am looking for someone who knows the fit, etc.

Pulled over just for you today! Saw a Tomos lx and checked out the exhaust. It looks like it would fit.but you'd have to bend the header 'cause it's a horizontal motor. It's probably @ least $100 exhaust though. And you'll want to secure it to the frame, it's too long and heavy just to hang off the motor. Anywqy hope that helps!

is there a way to modify the stock muffler to make it quieter without reducing engine power?

tyrslider,
I thank you !
I happed by a small shop and dropped off the recently cut goose neck of the original muffler to see if they had that size, (they weren't in when I got there), so upon calling them they didn't have anything that small.

Being without ample transportation at this time, I was without a way to size this, if I were to get to the Kawasaki shop, so is the reason I was asking.

I may as well be, off the beaten track, in the back country of New Mexico, with a bike in need of repairs, where the mail man is the event of the day !

But, thanks again, I'll look into it.

You might want to take a look at this exhaust system:

https://www.1977mopeds.com/cgi-bin/c...=action&key=97

It's a 2-piece bi-turbo, an aftermarket expansion chamber muffler that a lot of mopeders use. Because the muffler and header are separate pieces, it's easy to modify to fit a lot of different bikes. These kinds of exhausts usually give you about a 3-5mph boost on a moped, probably similar results on a motorized bicycle.
