hey that's what mine was supposed to look like... Erich was out of stock and hooked me up with a hand made CF ZX pipe since he was out of stock and I had a (almost) $700 order!

I do like the looks of the blue muffler though... WOuld look good with my blue ZUMA!

The blue would look good on your blue Zuma. Erich takes care of his custumers :)

Be sure to wipe the chrome free of your oily finger prints before you crank it up and get it hot for the first time, enjoy ! :)

Thanks for the tip!! Also, thanks for the response in my other post about the variator rollers! This will be my project on Friday.. any ideas how long it should take a first timer to install pipe, clutch springs and rollers? I'm fairly handy with a wrench and ratchet, just never dug into a scooter engine before.

It will take a good couple of hours, if you do not have a strap wrench plan on messing up some nutts and busting some knuckles !

Congrats on the stuff Cal but I really was hoping Jered started this post and he got his jets and was going to post his 64MPH speed.

Nope the jet didn't make it today... I'll get with Erich if it's not in the mail box in the morning... Hopefully though...

I think the blue would look good but I got a nicer looking pipe is what I was saying above...

I do think that pipe is sharp though...


As for the strap wrench... I took my skin off of my right hand index nuckle...I thought I'd have to get it fixed at the ER but after 3 or so hours it finally stopped bleeding and I have a nice SCAR now....

If you have leather gloves, those work as well... Instead of worring about a strap wrench and that letting go....

biggest tip I can give you buddy is that these pipes are hand made. It probably won't be a perfect fit, just take your time and be patient. Another thing is don't forget that lil washer and make sure everythings nice and tight after your done. Good luck, no worries though cuz it's a breeze! :D
