The Takegawa is about $100 cheaper.

I found another awesome exhaust:


I can't find a Daytona scrambler showed on a monkey without heat shield
Someone?

Re: Cant make a choice..

What engine are you going to run?

I ask this because the g-craft pipe is made for an 88cc or smaller.

Takegawa pipes are cheap quality compared to the other Japanese offerings and the hangers are just plain garbage.

If you have bigger then a 88cc, or an import engine, I would choose none of the above.

However, out of those two choices, the G-craft piece is much, much nicer.

Daytona no longer makes the scrambler exhaust as it broke at the welds on most of the pipes sold and they scraped it.

Go with some Titanium:

Re: Cant make a choice..

Thank's for help again Z those are some nice pipes! You might know this too: how are the Takegawa rear shock absorbers.
As you know I'm building a Skyteam Monkey, and I don't like the rear shocks.

Get the Daytona shocks. Takegawa's are better then stock though.

Re: Cant make a choice..

i like my fatty pipe =)

the mounting tab that mounts to the brake lever peg is the only thing to look out for. i'm running a bbr disk brake now and the new brake lever takes up most of that peg. so i now have to fabricate another means of mounting the exhaust hanger or at least find a way to keep the exhaust in place.

you in the USA?

make sure you can still move your pedal and kick starter without hitting the pipe/

that's true. you'll want to run a different kickstarter as the stock one will hit. and you wouldn't want that
