If we were plumbers, we'd have said it was 1"
I saw some pre-bent 1" EMT 90s at the hardware store a few days ago. They were a noticably tighter radius than what you get with a bender. I considered trying one but I don't like the idea of having too many weld joints to deal with. I might have to think about a copper exhaust some day. ACR copper would make nice strong straight runs and no tedious TIG welds

I'm looking for a moped muffler but can't find one yet at a good price. I had a couple of '70's European mopeds back in the '90's. The long cigar shaped mufflers looked good and they were very quiet.
Toojung2die,
I don't know if you've already checked out the pipes at Treatland but here's the link if you haven't.
There are some less expensive stock moped pipes I believe on page 2 but man these guys have about a million cool(and expensive) pipes to pick from.

Treats is my favorite moped parts source! Helped me get my QT50 running and even had me looking at big bore kits for it. Glad you linked to him because MB builders should check it out for ideas and hard to find parts. There's a big culture into tricking out old and newer two stroke mopeds and making them go stupid fast. So far all the mufflers I like on there are *sorry none today* but it's fun to look and wish.
If you buy from Treats don't be surprised if you find an unexpected "treat" in the box with your part ;-)
These are the one's I have built. The bikes sound like dirt bikes...great powerband...

The rusty one looks like it has the better shape for wider PB for a HT and from the looks of it has lots of miles on it. Which one did you like better?
We're seeing more expansion chambers than art pipes.
I like the rusty one...BTW it’s called patina...lol The bike is left raw for the look, same with the pipe....
Copper to copper is all I know how to weld. The silicone rubber hose from SBP works well to join to steel.
You guys drive me crazy. Don't you think if I could of figured out how to mount it properly I would have? I've tried it 3 times before, and each time I decided it was impossible. There's nowhere to mount anything to. The bottom bracket spindle is too narrow. And besides that I ripped my pants trying.
But since everyone is such an expert, I decided to give it one more try. This time instead of impossible, I consulted with Kim Possible. I worked on this all day.

That pipe looks nice and flowy.
What size pipe did you weld on to the flange is that copper aswell welded onto that metal flange?
Here's my exhaust. It starts out as stock flange, goes to 3/4" copper, then because of the length, goes to 1" copper, a homemade expansion chamber, and finally 3/4 " copper connection with Briggs muffler. It works good, but ended up longer than I wanted it and the Briggs muffler is louder than I'd like.
All but the muffler is brazed together. There's a hanger between the pedal crank and kickstand, and another one at the rear axle dropout.
