MOPED ARMY

I think the 1st one looks the best constructed.

What is your setup?

All those pipes are new territory... Even Treats doesn't know what is what.

All I know is I have seen pics of bikes with the last one and it stickes wayyyy up!

#1 looks like a nice pipe though, for a modded stock bike....

yo stacy!

i just ordered the first one for the polini 75cc kit haha! ill let you know how it runs.

ps: the kit is AMAZING haha :D

I run a Puch Techno Estoril on my 75cc Polini V1.

I'd love to know more about these pipes as I've been looking to do some modding... Pedal clearance is a concern... but I want more top end.

anywhoo, post results of your findings with these new pipes!

I run the tomos estoril pipe and it is great! Pulls like a MOFO up to 53.1mph. Im going to pop out the restrictor and see how it does, the slap on a one of my hand made pipes with the simonin dimensions....

no issues, but I used the tomos one

If you want silly low end, buy this pipe...

WARNING! Without the silencer, it's going to be dirt-bike loud (better for cars to hear you IMHO).

Problem with that is that it comes out the left side, as well as the fact that it needs welding.

I'm really turned on by the idea of having a pipe made for my bike. I think I'm going to go with the ZEN, so tell me how yours works out, Providence...

hey stacy i got the zen in yesterday and im gonna try it on my bike today (if the weather allows me too...i hate the rain). the quality is super nice and it looks PERFECT for a 50cc or for those who want a reliable/torquey/not-super-fast kitted bike. ill take some pictures too!

Yes, do post a picture!

Let us know how it goes. I'm especially anxious to see how the thing bolts up and looks on the frame. It seems really stocky in comparison to the long pipes I'm used to seeing.

I got the original ZEN from Benji. And ya, it's torque torque torque. My set up is basically 75cc Polini, 21mm Del, 20mm intake (making a better one), ZEN (pipe #1). I opened up intake and exhaust ports on the kit but have not case matched or modded the transfers (winter project). With stock gearing 10-42 the zen was INSANE off the line. It pulled like variated bike all the way through the power band. However it topped out pretty quick and I'd say i was 43-45mph max. Great for Chicago though. I re-geared to 10-31 a few weeks ago and the low end decreased significantly but it still totally fine for city riding. I GPS'd it at 52+mph and I'm sure it's got more but I'm lazy and haven't totally dialed in my carb.

Conclusion being it's a great low-mid pipe and somewhat limited on the top. Which is fine for me because I'm a pussy and 50+ on a moped is plenty for where I ride. The construction is amazing! It mounts perfectly and sounds fucking amazing.

I have the #1 ZEN from benji, and I lost a little bit of torque on takeoff but gained a whole hellof a lot of top speed. I had my stock setup tweaked to a 12 front though. It is by far the best fitting minarelli pipe I've ever put on, I didn't have to dremel at all for it, pedals clear, it just needs a bracket hookup. It was even easier than a pipe intended for the V1, that v1 pipe melted my plastic shroud and made a mess.

It's easy and good and looks awesome. Well, it's a bit soft/round looking for my very hard square Concord Shadow but the color and quality is awesome.

Well it's settled. ZEN here I come!

Man that thing looks sexy.

Sounds like it's exactly what I'm looking for!

Thanks for the review guys :P

Looks cool. I would definitely shorten the header and tuck it closer to the frame...rad

the zen looks a lot like this angled leo vinci for the v1 i got a while ago from italy angelo. super low end added to a variated bike was crazy. beatin cars off the line but only topping out at 46 with a polinid 16sha.

john how low are you jetted on yr zen pipe?

human bean, why did you have to reweld your boss? i thought those bolted on just fine. what hits the frame?
