Gaz's new toy

Ok, I invested in a sports exhaust for my MZ ETZ 125.

The exhaust itself is a no-namer off of german ebay.

I'm not particularly looking for a performance boost, although I won't mind if it helps.

The current silencer is rusted to shit so this will not only look better but should be stupily loud, possibly annoyingly so.

My air filter is knackered on the bike, so a new one just got ordered, and should be here soon, with this exhaust, it's pretty much straight though, I can see into the expansion chamber.

Is this going to mess up the mixture? I'd rather not have to go about messing with the carbs. I also realise this probably isn't going to help the engine, but let's face it, it's a 10 year old crappy 125 that's coming to the end of its life anyway, that you can buy whole new engines for on ebay for about 20p.

Any suggestions? it's getting fitted tomorrow, should I adjust anything, or just plug, play and enjoy?

Bung it on, ride it for a few weeks, then have a look at the plug. This, and the way it runs should tell you if any further action needs taking.

Well, it's on.

It sounds mean, turns heads, hasn't changed performance what-so-ever.

Sounds like a proper crosser now rather than an old man's MZ.

It is quite loud, maybe not illegally so, but it'll be drawing attention to what ever else might be wrong.

love it.
