Beats amazon! In contrast, I have some parts coming from Hong Kong scheduled for arrival in October

The exhaust has good performance but it sounds like someone is scratching their nails across the chalk board.

Its a naraku traffic. I wont be using it too much longer if I cant quiet that screeching noise at certain RPM's.

Thanks for the warning about scootertuning.

 Two others on this forum mentioned a noise issue, but I didn't think it was that bad. I have posted a review now to let others know before buying the Naraku Traffic Exhaust.

I may try and find a Naraku contact and see what their response is to my complaint.

I've bin dealing with them for years never had any issues with them or their service. It's my go to place for my scooter parts. I normally get my parts a week after I order them. Dang Canada Post

Hands down it performed better. That how horrible it sounds. Its a much better exhaust yet I will be tossing it aside. I mean, it just shoots you out of your driveway and up the road with an amazing linear acceleration.

To me what I like best is how quiet my Kymco scooters are.  My BMW'S make more noise from the air intake then the exhaust. The air intake is where the gas tank would normally be so it's closer to the rider.

Had to look that exhaust up.  Not the expansion chamber design I thought it may be, so surprised that it is that annoying.   You sure you have a good head to pipe seal?

Are you running the stock airbox?   Often on 2 strokes the intake noise is as bad as a loud exhaust if you don't.

Everything is tight. You can put your ear up to the chamber or muffler section when cold idling and you can hear metal rubbing inside causing a screeching sound and this amplifies once you are on the road at high RPM's.

I should of headed this guys warnings. He's had to make 2 posts to try and get rid of it.

Wow again.

Scooter Tuning.ca worked with me on the exhaust issue. They had me record a video of the exhaust and man its hard on the ears and I have to give Scootertuning.ca kudos for listening to it.

Well the end result is they offered me some credit to buy some more scooter parts. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised given the exhaust really can't be resold and I de restricted it. Personally, I wouldn't want to even pass this exhaust off to anyone unless they were riding in the deep woods away form any homes. It will probably go to the transfer station.

All within about a week we came to a resolution that they were generous enough to offer and parts on the way and I'm really happy with the outcome.

Always glad to hear when a company has good customer service. Makes me want to buy parts I don't even need.

And their shipping is quite fast.

Im in CT and got the exhaust in 22 hours from order. These parts were just shipped out and will be here Wednesday. They also provide you with good tracking info. And we all know whats it like to have scooter parts go to mars and back and have to go through Martian Customs before arriving at our door steps.

Time to do some catalog browsing for a nice package of parts once these new ones are installed.

Chris glad it worked out, sounds like the company really stepped up.
