Hi everyone,

We are considering relocating the muffler. Has any one done this succesfully? 
I've heard of one breaking off.

My main concern is what it will do to the torque/power. My understanding is 
that the back pressure might actually help give the engine more bottom end 
since we rev so low. All the karters seem to go to a header when they are 
reving in the 4000-6000 range and keep the muffler for the lower range stock 
classes. 

We are thinking of adding a straight run of pipe 9" long. Would this have any 
effect or is the muffler that much more restrictive? 

Any help or input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
