Hi all I'm currently rebuilding a 92 mtx 125 a long the way of building it I have found most parts are hard to come by but parts from such as cr125 are easy to pick up and generally fit aswell .... I have got to the point of new exhaust time the only pipes I can find for a mtx is the big one off eBay which I'm not that keen on dose anybody know if cr or kmx pipes will fit It i don't want to spend a few hundred quid on a nice shiny pipe and it not fit .... Thanks in advance dec

Big One and Giannelli both did pipes for the MTX125.

If the original pipe is unavailable or un usable, I would consider the Big One pipe. It's the silencer that is the poor quality bit really compared to a DEP or similar.

I have a Big One full system on my KMX125, and though it's louder than stock, it's far from offensive. Certainly it's far quieter than a Ginanelli system, which are reported to make the most top end power on KMX's but with loads of tinny noise too! Also Giannelli pipes have a reputation for having bugger all midrange power compared to the std pipe on many 125's of that era.

I plan on dyno'ing my KMX with the Big one pipe, and then trying a Giannelli back to back, to see which gives the best power curve, before I have a system chromed.

The KMX pipe won't fit the MTX it runs on the wrong side, and modern CR125 pipes are again all routed on the RHS and are a totally different shape that would be hard to make fit. I doubt you'd get good performance from a CR pipe anyway, as the CR revs to 11500-12000rpm, and the max power on the MTX125 is at about 8700rpm.

If you do fit a Giannelli pipe, let us know how you get on, as Id be interested to see how it goes anyway!
