The 2 stroke motor needs back pressure to work properly. Did it bend both exit stingers to the baffle?

it may be ok to run if it has some back pressure qualities give it a shot and let us know how well it works. For all we know it could preform better than the stock.

I tried to taper the 1 1/2 down to 1/2 as best I could with tube so as to creat some back pressure I just didn't want to burn up the engine I figured after the pic I might get a stop!!!! Don't use that lol

Well that is a call you will have to make lol. It may get hot as hell not being able to dissipate heat. I would go for a second opinion from a seasoned veteran at these motors

Without a dyno pull it'd be hard for me to realize what's happening as his is my first exp with gas and I just got thru the 4th tank ill run it and see how it does

If you want another stock pipe RCDAD has one for sale for 20 bucks and he lives in Mesa so it would be fast getting to you.

I really hate to sell that thing. The $20 is for the effort to stuff it in a box. LOL

If you want it you can have it! Shoot me a message and ill meet you somewhere. :)

Got it mounted pic to come so far it doesn't have much pull low end it kinda bogs down but when it gets wound up It seems to be faster overall I haven't tuned it yet its just broken in with the fac carb I have a 990 in route hoping to tune it and see what it'll do I'll post pic of it mounted it is a perfect fit no mods didn't cut anything still have all of the rear bumper and its a rear exit at about the same angle as the shock and a ways from the body after the carb and tuning ill report the progress
