Looking at getting a go kart.
I found one that has a 5hp tecumseh engine on it.
I want my first mod to be a simple straight pipe.
How many guys have a straight pipe on there kart?
I don't care how loud it is, I drive a open header V8 everyday. ;)

well if you do get it, and dont care particularly about looks, that one will most likely have a threaded exhaust port. until you make engine mods (inside the block kind), simply just thread some pipe in any direction you want. i have a 1 foot piece then a 90 elbow toward the ground, a 4 inch then a 90 elbow with a small reduction to it so theres still a little back pressure, just encase it wants to be finicky when starting :D

I just want to have a completely straight pipe, although I will probably have one 90 degree bend towards the ground.
A threaded port would be sweet, because then I wouldn't have to weld a flange onto the pipe.
Thanks
