High Performance Exhaust
 

Hi im new here!

Im just wondering what kind of exhaust can i get for the Gio T3 200cc Atv. I know theres that performance exhaust from Gio but i want something way better. I dont care how expensive it is or how loud it is (actually i prefer loud) i just want an good exhaust that fits that will greatly improve performance! Thanks

Edit: Another idea if you guys have one would be is there anyway to upgrade the gio performance exhaust. Im sure one of you have done that.

Edit 2: Could anyone post pics of the gio performance exhaust on the Rebel T3 because im wondering if you have to make any modifications for it to fit?

Basically i want the best bang for the buck :wink:

Welcome!

The FMF universal two-stroke muffler that Spud uses on his Zong would likely be a good choice at a fair price. YamaZong XT200GY-2 gets an FMF Turbine Core 2 Spark Arrestor

I tried to modify the Beast performance muffler, and it was more trouble than it was worth. The stock steel muffler from a first generation beast can be easily modified, but it requires a welder.

Welcome to these forums, Hippy! We are glad you joined us! :D

I don't know much about your Gio T3. However, I am well familiar with the FMF Universal Spark Arrestor recommend by Weldangrind. ;) This silencer is well built, sounds good, makes good power, and is relatively inexpensive. :) I encourage you to check it out!

Spud :)

Thanks guys i'll be sure to give it a look! :D

Love your 'Rider pride! :D

Haha Thanks :D

Roughrider games are best enjoyed with a cold Great Western Pilsner. :D

What part of the Province do you live in?

I live smack down where the Riders play. Too bad theres no Grey Cup this year for them... Theres always next year though!

Do you like em too?

Rider Pride Nation Wide!!!

I just love Saskatchewan. My heritage dates back there. You're from River City? Ever go to Bud's on Broadway?

Sorry to report that I'll be at the Lions game on Saturday. :oops:

Back to your regularly scheduled thread about mufflers. Sorry for the hijack.

Never been to Buds but i've heard many interesting stories about it. (Not old enough yet but almost there :lol: )

And no problem about the hijacking, it seems everyones doing it nowa'days. Besides i got 4 free posts because of it :D

I haven't been to Bud's in 15 years. It was a lot of fun.

Are you planning on trying the FMF pipe? It's actually a two-stroke muffler, but it's a really good choice for a 200cc four stroke, and it's re-packable. I encourage you to read Spud's post about it.

Ill most likely give it a go. I read his post and the pipe seems it will be lighter and provide a noticable performance increase.

Will it install easily or will i have to do any welding or alter the pipe?

Hey I was born in SASK. My parents were brillant though and got the hell out of there before I turned 18 months and moved us to the coast.

I go back regularly to remind myself how blessed I am that I live in the Fraser Valley.

BUT I can just imagine my sport quad on a farm in Sask. miles of open fields and tons of fun to be had.

And thats exactly what i do! Never ending prairies...

It looks like the muffler is available in 1 1/8" and 1 1/4" ID inlet, so it would depend upon the OD of your existing pipe. If it is one of those sizes, chances are that no welding would be required.

As usual, Weldangrind has given you superb advice. :) The FMF silencer comes in two sizes, so make sure one of them fits your exhaust header. ;) This FMF silencer also comes with a stainless steel midpipe, which you can easily cut to the desired length. However, the midpipe is fairly straight, so you need a pretty direct line from the silencer's mounting point to the exhaust header. ;) This silencer also includes mounting hardware. :)

If you have more questions, please post some photos, and we can try to judge if this FMF silencer will fit your quad. :)

Some pics of the stock exhaust.

Will i be able to alter the shape of the new exhaust if i have to? Thanks

Ugh, the dreaded factory air filter. You're miles ahead with a pod filter, such as a Uni. I bought two of these: 42mm Air Filter Cleaner 250cc ATV Quad Dirt Pit Bike The angle is perfect for my first generation Beast, and the filter quality is quite good. I coat it with Maxima Fab 1 spray oil.

To your question, it's kind of hard to tell, but it looks like the layout is the same as my Beast. The only difference I see is that my Beast has no joint in the middle. Can you show us a pic from a few feet back? I'd like to be able to see the entire muffler, and its relationship to the rear fender.

BTW, the price is certainly right on that filter. $6.99 including shipping. :D

Thanks for posting the photos, Hippy. :) I also would like to see photos of the muffler, and its mounting points. ;) Is the muffler mounted at an angle? I think you might be able to mount the FMF TC2 silencer, but I need to see the entire muffler, without any body shrouds blocking the view. ;)

Spud :)

I got a high performance air filter on the way, so dont worry :D

Ill post some pics tomorrow...

Here ya go. I can post anotherone farther away if you want.

That's identical to my stock Beast muffler. Don't expect to gain a lot by swapping it for something else, because it flows pretty good as is. If you install a Mikuni 30mm carb (assuming you don't already have one), jet it properly and install a better air filter, you'll feel an improvement.

I've dissected two Beast mufflers so far, and they're an intelligent design. They're a bit restrictive, but not so much that you'll feel a dramatic improvement; just more sound.

Thanks for posting the photo, Hippy. :) Your photos reveal that installing the FMF TC2 would require a bit of extra work. Since your exhaust's midpipe curves through the frame, you would need to cut the midpipe off the stock muffler, just ahead of the canister, and use it to connect the FMF silencer to the exhaust header. Also, it appears your exhaust's midpipe enters the muffler at an angle, which also complicates matters. ;) Is your exhaust system supported only at the muffler itself, and the exhaust header?

Spud :)

You're exactly right, Spud. If you remove the gussets from the muffler, you can clearly see the angle that the pipe is cut on to accomodate the muffler. This is a shot of the angle I had to observe when I welded a new flange onto my pipe:

You posted your reply while I was composing my reply, Weld. ;) I'm glad to hear Hippy's muffler flows well, and he doesn't need to replace it! By keeping the stock muffler he will save the money he would have spent on the FMF TC2, and he also won't need to worry about repacking the FMF silencer. ;) The money saved on the FMF silencer can be better spent on a new carburetor and/or air filter! :D

Spud :)

Thanks for the help guys. Yes i already have the Mikuni Carb and an air filter is on the way. Do you know if the highperformance exhaust from gio would work ok. Even if it is the same performance it looks wayyyyy better and is veryyyy cheap on the auction. (Around 40 bucks)

Thanks

I assure you that pipe would result in a degradation in performance. I took one apart, and it's much more restrictive than the stocker.

I guess in this instance "high performance exhaust" is a misnomer. :roll:

Spud :lol:

SlipryHippy, the real performance answer is to buy a performance exhaust for both the Monster and Beast ATV. Use the head pipe from the Beast and the muffler from the Monster, and you'll have a decent muffler with a spark arrestor. Many of us went that way, but the Monster mufflers don't come up on the Gio site very often anymore.

Good idea, but by the time i buy both of those i could just get an FMF. Hmmm decitions decitions...

In the high performance beast pipe is there any way to make it less restrictive?

Off topic but do the performance shocks that gio sells, are they any good (worth the money).

The short answer is no, you can't easily make the Beast pipe flow. It just looks pretty.

The Gio shocks topic will bring varied opinions. If you can get 'em for cheap, just enjoy them for what they are. You can get them charged up at bike shops or tire shops with nitrogen for cheap. What do your front shocks look like?

There just the stock black and white ones. Nothing special.

Got a pic? Not familiar with them.

Go here. Look at the pics and you can see the shocks. Thanks

It looks like they don't have gas reservoirs. Are they decent shocks, or are they pogo sticks? Do they have any adjustability?

Just an ordinary shock surrounded but a stiff coil. No adjustibility. Have you had any experiance with the performance gio shocks?

Indirectly. TurboT and Jim both bought some. They leaked, but they were a really good price, and they were far better than the stock shocks. The shocks that came with our first generation Beasts were awful.

Ok, ill pickem up in the spring when they show up on the auction house. Thanks

Is the exhaust from the Giobeast or T3 Atv similar to any major atv manufactors(Spelling?) like Honda or Can-Am, because i could buy an exhaust for that Atv and put it on mine.

Thanks
