What happens if you cut your exhaust off?
The main job of the muffler is to silence the noise created by an internal combustion engine. Without it, the vehicle will rev more loudly like a racing car. A muffler delete system (or simply the process of removing the muffler/mufflers) will make the vehicle sportier to drive courtesy of the louder exhaust sound.
Can you run a moped without an exhaust?
Re: Can you ride a moped with no exhaust? No exhaust will lean out your air fuel ratios and cause you to soft seize.
Can you start a 2 stroke without exhaust?
2-strokes run fine without mufflers, if your muffler pipe is an expansion chamber you might notice a low to medium power loss, but you should be fine. The right length pipe can actually help a two stroke. Yes you can run a straight pipe. Without the muffler, the bike will probably run lean.
How can I get rid of the exhaust restriction on my scooter?
The exhaust restriction is applied to most scooters and can be easily removed. All that is needed is a little grinder (ideally Dremel, Proxxon, or other micro grinders). Most stock exhaust feature a dummy pipe on the exhaust manifold whereas restricted after market exhausts have a little diameter restriction welded into the down pipe.
Is there a way to remove the catalyst from a scooter?
The easiest way to remove the catalyst of your scooter is to replace the stock exhaust with an aftermarket model. Alternatively you can attach the exhaust of the same scooter model without catalyst (Minarelli and Piaggio engines have usually equivalent models with a non-cat exhaust).
Can a shortened exhaust manifold be used on a scooter?
For example some stock exhausts use a very long exhaust manifold that decreases the gas flow and therefore resulting in reduced performance. These can only be replaced by buying a shortened exhaust manifold. Another exhaust restriction can sometimes be found in the exhaust silencer of aftermarket exhausts (Yasuni).
Why does a moped not go faster than a scooter?
Most of the times a moped is restricted from going faster than it could and that is due to many factors. One of these is to protect the environment better and to do that, scooters use a catalyst that is used on the exhaust. This catalyst doesn’t directly restrict a moped’s power but those that tune mopeds say that you should remove it anyway.

Can a 50cc Scooter be derestricted and still run?
Most 50cc scooters are restricted by the placement of a spacing washer in the drivetrain system, also known as the variator system. Removing this washer allows the scooter’s variator system to operate at its full potential, increasing the scooter’s acceleration and top speed. Step 1
What’s the maximum speed for a 50cc Scooter?
Reassemble the variator system, the intake case and the kickstand. Bypass steps 4 and 5 by using an impact wrench to remove the front pulley wheel. Derestricting your scooter will affect its overall top speed. For 50cc scooters, the maximum speed allowed in most states is 30mph.
Why is the exhaust not working on my moped?
Most mopeds come with this sort of restriction, where the exhaust doesn’t allow you to catch much speed. Stock exhausts usually have a dummy pipe that won’t work or a little piece welded on the downpipe so that the diameter is decreased.
