wow good luck with that been there done that I had a scoot that was going bad and found another just like it with less then 450 miles on it so I took the front of it and put it on the other it was a good find because I turned around and sold the old scoot for parts for more then what I payed for the used one, im sure everything well work out for ya good luck.

Hey i've got a stock agility 50 exhaust lying around if you're interested.  It was only 2 months old before i swapped it out.
