On my prevoius Max I had a stage 7 with Kerker pipe which I was very happy with. On my current scooter, the motor is still stock and I have open SuperTrapp slip-ons only. Got rather attached to the 4-2 look but the headers are stock (I think they suck) and the diameter is WAY too small. Living in africa we tend to manufacture a lot of stuff ourselves, and as a Kerker costs well in excess of $1000 US, I have been toying with the following: Get a local exhaust manufacturer (He did some good work on V8 headers for me) to bend me a set of header pipes using a pipe with a larger ID (NOT a double wall pipe) but exacly the same as the stock headers. This will also include the balance (Cross over) tube as per the stock headers. I will also have to enlarge the slip-ons to accomodate the larger headers. I have ordered a Stage 7 kit and plan to use aftermarket individual filters. Hopefully this will get the Max breathe a bit better ??? I know that it will discolour but I can live with that. PS: As a semi-lurker living in a country without cold winters and all year round riding I feel it is my duty to pop out of the lurking closet & seek some technical advice from the Max guru's out there and maybe help Mario to shorten the days 'till spring ;-) +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Deon Hauptfleisch Quality & Facilities Manager Keops Isis Industrial Information Systems (Pty) Ltd.
