Exhaust First time around

Venom variator, loving it so far. I also drilled 4 holes in my CVT cover, because at 120 miles I had more dust than I wanted to have. Should help keep temperature down a bit, and keep some dust out.

I painted and installed my GY6 scoop, slightly melted it when I decided to put it in the toaster on low heat. Oh well, doesn't look bad.

Just purchased the GY6 Radiator Scoop, should be a nice mod and help cooling on my GET :highfive:

I'll be looking at the R6 LED integrated tail light as well, hopefully should compliment my seat nicely once I lower it. I'll be adding links to my OP for others to view as well.

As long as you use the stock header pipe, welding on a Briggs muffler won't require a rejet. Mine did not. Check out the big thread. There's some cool DIY's on there.
