I was just wondering if anyone has ever tried getting a tuned pipe and carb. off of a 50cc honda 2-stroke dirtbike. I am sure it will take some fabrication to get it to bolt up, but do you think that it would work good. I am 100% positive that i will notice a difference (good or bad)but my girlfriend has to ride this thing to school and work everyday and i don't want to loose any rideability. what do you guys think?

thank you. I knew it would do something but for $350 it is not worth the gain to me.

Look in this forum. I built one using a $20 pocketbike pipe. Louder and a little faster. You really need to retime the ports to take advantage of this, though, IMHO.

I say that it is nice, what did you have to do to the carb to accomadate that?

Nothing. The pulley mod was done on this, so I wasn't trying to spin the motor faster than the carb was sized to handle, just get more power at the top end.
