Get yuminashi kit for better performance. You'll notice the difference without dyno report.ScooterAddict wrote:Has anyone used this LeoVince exhaust? Will it add better performance? I mean just the ride ability. Are there any dyno reports. For $211.00 this is a reasonable price for ride-ability and better performance. Plus I do like the sound!

I have not been brave enough to remove the baffle, as it then goes from a 3/4"ish outlet to at least 2" or more.
Exhausts give you road presence to other vehicles and just sound/look cool. Although some show 1hp+ gains on a dyno without the restrictor.

I bought it to make my scooter loud, and to replace the ugly can that came pre-attached with something more presentable.
To be honest, I never understood why people buy a small bike so they can mod it to make it go faster. By the time you spend all the money on mods, you would have been better off buying a bike that goes the speed you want it to in the first place.
The main reason I posted about the exhaust in this forum and not performance is that it won't do squat for the latter, it's just a bling thing.
Oh, and this came in the mail today:

Excellent. Post some pictures of the fit?

No noisy exhausts sound annoying/stupid. Even more stupid on a moped.
Thats much better than the op's in my opinion, and a great price toboot. Leo Vinces tend to be loud though.honkerman wrote:$211 from parts giant in Michigan.homie wrote:What are we paying for that? Sounds almost good enough to adjust my riding habits too.

I may just use the existing gasket then replace it with the new one next week.

I am the original poster. Perhaps the first post was confusing. I posted a pic of an exhaust I liked the look of, but said I was getting the Leo Vince instead because I didn't want to order from Japan.k2apache6.0 wrote:Thats much better than the op's in my opinion, and a great price toboot.

maybe, but most keep away from me since putting on the exhaust. And I don't really care if I sound like 4T dirt bike...you you wrote:chicaboo wrote:My exhaust (not a Leo Vince) with the restrictor baffle in place added zero power, and may have even lost some?
