exhaust pipes?
« on: June 29, 2011, 02:14:03 PM »

My exhaust pipe broke last week, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to go after-market. So far though, all I can find online is an NHRC exhaust pipe. I thought there'd be a lot more to choose from.

Am I narrowing my search too much by just looking for pipes that fit the People 150? Can I pick an exhaust pipe that would fit any People model? What is the best place online to look for these parts?

Thanks for your help!

- Steven

An aftermarket exhaust won't improve your 4 stroke p150 , it will only make it loud and annoying .

This might sound funny, but the appeal of an aftermarket pipe for me is purely aesthetic. I just don't really like the stock pipe. It's just that it was never really worth it to me to change it. Until now, since it's broke.

I fully agree that most of the aftermarket pipes I see out there sound a bit obnoxious - I would actually consider it a bonus if my new pipe/muffler was quieter, although I had no complaints with the volume of the stock pipe.

Any ideas? I just don't know where to look...

Juice - I checked out the pipes at scooterworks, and saw the two NHRC ones that I see everywhere else, but not a third one. Is there another one that I am not seeing in a different category or something?

Nothing terribly wrong with them IMO...

I bought my P150 used with an NHRC on it. It eventually broke off because of a bad bolt - nothing wrong with the pipe itself. However, when I put the stock pipe back on I noticed it was quieter. From this experience I know that I'd probably prefer just ordering another OEM pipe before going with the NHRC.

Looks like OEM's coming out on top with this one. Thanks for the input!
