By the looks of it, i'm pretty sure you'll need to cut the body to make that work.

Wow that place is expensive! My lhs is cheaper than that! Have you looked at the O'neill marder pipe? Loud but more power than the others and about the same price. There are alot of pipes available chose wisely. Fg pipe is a good entry level pipe, the samba is a nice (overpriced) pipe, In my opinnion the O'neill has the most power, the sturdiest, and priced within reach for most. My second choice for your application would be the samba buggy pipe. Good luck on your quest!

With oniel's pipe the only draw back is the level of loudness... In europe there are laws governing the desibles of this pipe, its use is there is impractical unless a muffler is used...... here in the USA we also have these laws in the city against overly loud noise........Rap music from cars, RC boats ect.....its just a matter of time before they regulate the 1/4 vehicles noise level in the city but out in the country there are no worries

just think if you had 4-5 MTs with the oneil pipe racing around, you probably couldn't hear your friends talking to you

What about the x-can is that any good? Will there be a performance gain. I think it would be nice to run dual exhaust out the back.
Thanks

How about dual exhaust via side pipes

The X-can is a muffler not a tuned pipe. The increase in performance provided by the X-can will be minimal compared to the tuned pipes. I see you live in PA unless you live in the very close suburbs of Philly or Pittsburg I am pretty sure any pipe you choose will not be a sound violation. The Samba truck pipe is also a great pipe but again very expensive and the O'neill looks way better (in my oppinion anyhow) The O'Neill looks and sounds like is belongs on the side of Pro mx dirt bike, The Samba looks like a miniature iron lung.
