The PINASCO TOURING muffler is handmade by skilled craftsmen and it's available for Vespa PX 125-150, item 25560823, and Vespa 200, item 25560824."

Wonder how this compares to the Sip road or BGM pro?

I saw that in the Pinasco news letter email yesterday.

I just want it for the ugly factor.

curious to see reviews

I might consider it for the 8" 200 engine i have in the shop; i was going to modify a rally 180 exhaust for that one for ground clearance.

Yeah I agree with the ugly factor, kind of looks like a car muffler box with caps welded on each end but Rob may have a point with possibly better ground clearence.
I'm sure we'll find out in due course once it's done the rounds but we'll have to wait and see, curious to see how this stacks up performance wise also.

I hope it stacks up.. if it's at least as good as a sip road or the bgm box, I'd get one.. the more I look at it the more I like it.

who's selling it?

I cannot find it anywhere, except in this link which seems to be text from an email...

Google Translate, got to love it. Not as much as I would love to speak Italian though

Looks like the shape has allowed them to increase the length of the header slightly compared to the sip road/pep 3/big boxes.





You can buy it on ebay IT (thanks Alan) - http://www.ebay.it/itm/MARMITTA-VESPA-TOURING-PINASCO-PX-125-150-SIMILE-SIP-ROAD-/251492007312?pt=Ricambi_e_Accessori_Moto&hash=item3a8e177d90&clk_rvr_id=613412678053&afsrc=1

Odd that there is no sign of it in any of the usual sites / shops

Pinasco also have an SI carb lid with a high top suited to venturi intakes, that hasn't shown up in the shops either.

Really? Would that have solved your heartache a few weeks ago?

No. But it would mean better less restrictive flow into a Polini-type venturi.

Not for 200cc?

I think I see something about 200 ? but I don't speak Italian..

The actual pipe shape seems to make the air flow fast but I am not sure about the actual muffler part. Not only looks ugly but I also have my reservations on the design.

Are you a tuner?

Yes they're also available for the 200. I told you before, use Google Chrome for translation... it's pretty good.

mangiare più pesce gatto.

no thanks still drinking

Meanwhile, in a similar vein but a WAY different price bracket is this one from PipeDesign -



Auspuff Pipedesign Vespa PX 200 Powerbox Our price: 499,00 EUR

That is a SERIOUS price!

Agree

This came in the mail today.



It's ugly but I like ugly when different. I need to drill through my swing arm to install this exhaust.

After seeing this chart comparing the exhaust to sip + and the stock exhaust, I thought it was worth trying.


The black line is the pinasco exhaust.

Whenever I get it on I will prob update the results here.

R-

What bike you doing to put that on?

The Sprint. Strange my 72 Sprint has a veloce engine but the swingarm does not have a hole drilled through like others. It was the last year of the Sprint so they could have put whatever was left over before they went full Veloce.

It is stock and really no comparison to the chart since he up kitted the top end for the results above. I got it from here.http://moto-amore.com/shop/pinasco-touring-exhaust/

Here's the thread using google translate

I finally had time to install this exhaust. No drilling for a single hole swingarm. I had a Sito + that required drilling to secure properly and sounded like crap. This exhaust does not sound much loader then the stock but a a has a deeper sound. Performance was improved in lower gears and top end is about the same. I had to go from a 102 main jet to a 112. Overall I'm satisfied with this exhaust.

scooter-speed.com and Moto-Amore.com have the pinasco VRX carb, tops do other goodies. This is old news if you get pinasco updates on FB or direct. There are also nice new Pinasco 125/150 and 200 cases coming to shops soon.

I DO like the look of those pipes.

I like it too. How's the clearance there on the left side, from the tip to the ground?

The Exhaust tip is deff lower then the stock but not bad compared to the sito +. While riding and tuning carb I made a quick left uturn which resulted in a scraping sound. Made the same uturn after changinging the jets And no scraping. Just need to be aware that I lost some clearance on left uturns.
My buddy says it looks like a large can of pork n beans under ther scooter.
