Has anyone used this LeoVince exhaust? Will it add better performance? I mean just the ride ability. Are there any dyno reports. For $211.00 this is a reasonable price for ride-ability and better performance. Plus I do like the sound!

My exhaust (not a Leo Vince) with the restrictor baffle in place added zero power, and may have even lost some?
I have not been brave enough to remove the baffle, as it then goes from a 3/4"ish outlet to at least 2" or more.
Exhausts give you road presence to other vehicles and just sound/look cool. Although some show 1hp+ gains on a dyno without the restrictor.

Get yuminashi kit for better performance. You'll notice the difference without dyno report.

Exhausts add little if any horsepower. If that's your sole reason for getting one, spend your money elsewhere. They are more about sound and looks than anything else. I bought it to make my scooter loud, and to replace the ugly can that came pre-attached with something more presentable.

To be honest, I never understood why people buy a small bike so they can mod it to make it go faster. By the time you spend all the money on mods, you would have been better off buying a bike that goes the speed you want it to in the first place.

The main reason I posted about the exhaust in this forum and not performance is that it won't do squat for the latter, it's just a bling thing.

Oh, and this came in the mail today:

No noisy exhausts sound annoying/stupid. Even more stupid on a moped.

I may just use the existing gasket then replace it with the new one next week.

Wearing a muppet helmet cover is silly too, but I do that. :lol:

Thats much better than the op's in my opinion, and a great price toboot. Leo Vinces tend to be loud though.

Yep, that is pretty silly but sometimes you feel like a nut... I get it. When I want to get stares I wear my hand made leather aviator cap with matching aviator goggles. People try not to stare and the young girls giggle. I got them right where I want them... noticing me and not their cell phones.

I am the original poster. Perhaps the first post was confusing. I posted a pic of an exhaust I liked the look of, but said I was getting the Leo Vince instead because I didn't want to order from Japan.

maybe, but most keep away from me since putting on the exhaust. And I don't really care if I sound like 4T dirt bike...
