Do you want to make at statement in your area but you drive a not so impressive moped\gas scooter? I will show you how to make a loud and good sounding muffler for your gas scooter\moped! If you don't want to spend a lot of money on after market exhaust parts this article is for you!

Steps

  1. Remove the screws holding the plastic muffler cover to the engine.
  2. Unbolt the stock muffler from the engine exhaust manifold.
  3. Take an old coffee or soda can and remove the piece of metal from the top opening if you are using a soda can. For a coffee can poke holes into the top for the exhaust smoke.
  4. Drill a large hole from the bottom of the can so it can be inserted into the exhaust manifold.
  5. If you want the can to look more like a muffler you can spray paint it prior to putting it on.
  6. Secure the muffler to the exhaust manifold by bolting it in or by wrapping electrical ties around it and securing it to the frame.
  7. Insulate the can so it creates less noise when the engine is running by using fiberglass insulation or steel wool.

Tips

  • Be sure to insulate muffler because the neighbors will complain.
  • A soda can produces a higher pinging sound and a coffee can has a deep grumble.
  • Have plenty of holes for the smoke to escape.
