Love those stinger exhausts. Reminds me of motocrossers in the 1970s. Wheelbender,You said it! And, if you ride a 4-stroke, they work wonders too. Witness my old Xingyue 150...I modded this chamber-exhaust originally made for a 2-stroke 50cc to fit my 4-stroke 150 and it made a notable difference in overall performance. It's a trick I learned more than 50 years ago from 2-stroke racing karts. We tried the chamber-exhausts on our 4-stroke pit-bikes and were AMAZED at how GREAT they worked! While the chambers won't supercharge the 4-stroke by pulling the exhaust through, sucking in extra fuel/air mix then ramming it back into the cylinder as they will with a 2-stroke, they WILL scavenge a 4-stroke BETTER than "straight-pipes", make better power, and promote easier tuning... And they look SO cool doing it!
I'd like to see the CVT setup on this one, and ESPECIALLY on the 8-cylinder scoot! There's a LOT of work lashing up all those multi-cylinder units and they must have the "mother" of all clutches and variators... LOL! Big, thumpin' 4-strokes are cool, but so are screamin' buzz-bomb 2-strokes!Ride safe!Leo in Texas

Was under the impression that even a lawn mower needed a cert in CA. Here in Florida they found out years ago it was not worth the effort and even stopped the state compliance inspections for road vehicles. The cost of checking compliance against how many were caught along with the minuscule amount of actual environmental damage those few were doing just didn't add up to a worthwhile endeavor. Take a look here and you can see all of the CARB certificates granted: www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/onroad/cert/hmc/2015/2015.phpThe one thing you'll notice is there are none given for anything 49cc and below. Wouldn't expect a 49cc or lawn mower engine to be listed in the Highway Vehicle section. I was not debating that anyway and was only commenting on how over the top they can be at times even for such as a weed eater or other small piece of equipment.
