eljeque Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I have a 5 year old, Wave 125, bired out to 150 and also has a new cam, etc., and a larger carb. I want to change my exhaust and have read about a few options here/ 1. Remove some of the interior of the exaust pipe. 2. Get a different pipe... From a Sonic or maybe a CBR 150 ... any other ideas? And, is it necessary to make changes to the intake box (changing it to drilling holes in it, etc.?) Any other ideas? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBikeBKK Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Other ideas? Ditch the scooter and get a Sonic or CBR150 Ride On! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverdie Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 By the sounds of things you want to replace not just the muffler but the entire exhaust pipe with something of a larger diameter to allow the bike to breathe a little better. Are you trying to tell us you carried out all those mods but still have the pea shooter exhaust system on the bike? Or did you buy the bike with the supposed mods? You want to cruise around to a few of the smaller bike shops, plenty of places making larger pipes out of stainless etc at a small cost too, then its up to you whether you buy a new muffler or have a standard one cut and modified. Theres a few mobs around that make mufflers locally near bangkok, but the names escape me at the moment, i will post again when i remember.

VocalNeal Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 (edited) Where do you live? Did you enlarge the exhaust port.? Lots of aftermarket pipes available about 1500 + baht. But they are not quiet The inlet size will still be the same as they are built to match the port but the pipe itself gets progressivly larger. Endurance is one name. Stainless pipe with alloy muffler. Avaulable at most if not all small bike shops. Make sure it says 125 on it, as then the brackets will fit. Also the 125 pipe is different from the 100 Wave. As the bends to clear the engine casing are different.Also the 100 Wave pipe rises higher and does bot attach to the footpeg bolt.

eljeque Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 Thanks for the information Where do you live? Pattaya Did you enlarge the exhaust port? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VocalNeal Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Thanks for the informationWhere do you live? Pattaya Did you enlarge the exhaust port? No. I'm in BKK. My bike (100 then 115 Wave) project was in Indonesia with parts from Rayong. I did a DIY port job but eventually I installed a big valve head (from JKT) which had the port the same size as the exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eljeque Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 I learned how much a Leovince exhaust was, painful, after reading about a yoshimua costing only about 3,500 baht. So, either go after the Yoshimura or be simple and instead find a CBR 150 or a Sonic exhaust and pipe. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinLOS Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 3500 I suspect its a copy yoshi pipe.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBikeBKK Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 3500 I suspect its a copy yoshi pipe.. Bangkok is awash in fake Yoshimuras... You get what you pay for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eljeque Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Thanks. What would a real one cost? And, where would I find one? More important, is a super exhaust worth the cost versus the gains received. The bike was 20,000. The motor (150 bore, can, valves, etc.) 4500. Carb = 2200 I am OK with an exhaust CBR or Sonic, how much? 1200 or so, and if 3,000 woudld be a big improvement, OK, but 15,000 for the Leovince...... I was surprised, to say the least. I think the Sonic or CBR pipe and exhaust may be the most protical way to go about it Thanks for everyone's advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubberboybob Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Thanks for the informationWhere do you live? Pattaya Look out if you live in Pattaya......the cops go nuts when they see/hear a modified exhaust......1000 baht fine. I got stopped 3 times in as many days until I finally put the original honda exhaust back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eljeque Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 Thanks. The cops go nuts over anything. What about using a CBR 150 or a Sonic muffler. These, I would guess, allow more through flow, but dot not sound appreciably louder. What do you think? And, where would you suggest? Also, in order to appear standard, what about removing some of the baffles from the muffler instead? Just a little bit, or am I wasting time and asking for trouble.

eljeque Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 The best mechanic, at least from what I am told by a friend with 50 rental bikes, at Mityon in Pattaya installed the muffler which goes to the new Honda Wave X. It does make a difference, and it is quiet. Just bored out my Wave 125i to 150, runs wonderfully, and will get the same muffler next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moo9 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 It's not worth to do it only you live in a rural environment 600 km NE of BKK. I ended up paying 2,000 Baht, confiscated bike, need the original exhaust reinstalled, fine....and one day trashed. For what? If you like sound, you buy a real bike.

eljeque Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 No significant increase in noise if any at all. A "real bike" ? A 600+cc would be just what everyone needs in Pattaya traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a big bike and i can only say many times a fast scooter is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
