What is a good pipe for the Polini Contesta?
Have a contesta coming in the mail and I am wondering what is a good pipe that isnt too loud and wont break the bank but still allow optimal venting of heat but also keep the engine from over reving? I am thinking the V8 Typhoon is probably my best bet but I would like some opinions. I just cant see running the exhaust I have (kymco zx exhaust which is practically like an unrestricted af18 dio exhaust) Is there any danger in running the stock exhaust?

there is no danger in running a stock exhaust. if you really want to keep the noise down, put a airbox. the intake noise is really loud.
Nothing like getting stroked!

Re: What is a good pipe for the Polini Contesta?
do they make an airbox that is bolt on for the OKO?

if you run the stock side(no mesh) would be super quite but may lose some power.

Ignore the doggy, You will not get a decent fit with your OKO to the stock air box.

Ask wheelman about his pg short. Badass pipe

Re: What is a good pipe for the Polini Contesta?
From my research, the PG long/short requires a larger than 21mm carb and is a high rev pipe. The higher the revs and performance the shorter the lifespan of the motor in general.

Greetings:
I frankly can't tell much difference in performance between the PG Long I had and the Short I'm running now. The Long is poorly crafted and the baffle welds break inside the pipe, in my case within a year. It remains to be seen if the Short is any more durable. I've run 24 mm to 30 OKO carbs and they all seem to like to rev into the Mid-10s with either pipe.

Engines can be rebuilt. You have a quality kit made for high rpms why would you skimp out on the pipe. The v8 pipes are easy to tune but have a poor high end. The pgis a good all round pipe
