Straight pipe vs Bubble exhaust - PocketBikeForum.com

Radman · 05-08-2006, 09:54 PM

I switched my exhaust on my cag from a bubble to a straight pipe and noticed alot more pick up off the start, but I had no high end speed. The throttle wouldn't open up like when the bubble exhaust was on. Is this normal? Do you sacrifice top end for pick up by switching these or am I missing something? TIA.

Answering my own question here, lol. I did some research and found out that the straight pipe is worse than the bubble and I have to do other mods to the bubble to make it better. I believe this is right.

Huckster,

I am from Wpg and I did buy the pipe off ebay too. I put it on myself as its a simple task. I think I will take my stock pipe to custom pocket bike and get it modded.

A "dealer" is putting straight pipes on two strokes?

This is why I write articles, read the article on pipes here http://www.pocketbikeforum.com/artic...smoke-oil.html

A straight pipe will work great on a 4stroke, but they WILL NOT work on a 2stroke.
