Max Engine CC for a MiniGunz

Can any of you guys tell me what the maximum engine cc that would ok to run with a Minigunz exhaust ( Softtail ) ?

Would a Takegawa 124 or the new Daytona 150 be way too much , and the Minigunz restrict the engine ?

+ With the Minigunz silencer mount being 'fixed' ~ I guess this would cause an issue in fitting the exhaust to say the new Daytona 150 due to barrel length ? But would it be ok with the Takegawa setup ?

Thanks

.

I don't know how it would fit on a tall cylinder, but it sure sounds mean on my 102.

Re: Max Engine CC for a MiniGunz

i'm running a stock z50a pipe on my lifan 125 if that tells you any thing, so i would assume the minigunz is a lot better than stock.

Re: Max Engine CC for a MiniGunz

there is an adjustment right before the barrel so it can fit on engines with different jug/head lengths.

I wouldn't recommend planning your build around that exhaust if you don't have one already.

Please be a little more specific ?
The Minigunz isn't determining the build

Re: Max Engine CC for a MiniGunz

I've been running one on a 114 China based motor. No fitment problems. It will work fine for bigger motors, just might not be optimal for top end on the huge motors. I plan on using it on my 146 next.

Hang in there it will be worth the small wait
Thanks Jeff
Thats good news. Maybe enough people have inquired, as I did and you did, about the pipes and its time for more! I'm getting in line too!!

Re: Max Engine CC for a MiniGunz

Also Jeff said it should work fine with a 125 if any one cares or wanted to know.

Re: Max Engine CC for a MiniGunz

Jeff only produces the pipes in small quanities. About 20 at a time. Jeff hand builds, packs and ships the pipes himself. Excellent quality and performance. He makes a run of pipes when the need arises.
