GY6 150cc performance air filter/jet & CDI

[frostyflammable]

So since I am never happy with status quo when it comes to my toys I wanted to see about adding some performance to my buggy, which has the GY5 type 150cc engine on it. I do not like the way the intake looks so I wanted to add a pod filter with the corresponding bump in jet size such as this kit. I normally just to go GoPower to pick up parts but could not find where they had this kit.

And this performance CDI

My question is about the exhaust. It is factory and I would like to leave it as-is since I like the sound a lot. I am not interested in higher top speed so I am wondering if I should even get the performance CDI since I do not want to increase my REV limiter but maybe it will help with low down performance.

What are your thoughts, if I get the pod filter kit with jet as well as the performance CDI and leave the stock exhaust, will I see any torque gains? Again not interested in top end just acceleration.

Thanks,
Dan

Those "performance" CDI's are a sham. Stock CDI's do not have a limiter, any power gains will be placebo.

As far as intake mods without exhaust mods, hard saying without knowing how restrictive your exhaust is. you can only pull in as much air as you can push out.

I would do some research on clutch modifications if i were looking for acceleration. potentially combined with intake and exhaust work.

I say get the pod filter/jet and exhaust system! When I did it on my YerfDog (obviously different engine, predator 212) I wasn't expecting that much difference on a heavy go cart, but it really woke it up on the low end.
