I bet there is 0 difference between the 10 section and 13 section in the actual 'mufler' part

awesome man! Looks good so far! Thanks for the pictures! What are your takes on the overall condition of the engine at approx 5000 miles later?

I see that. That sucks. How brittle do you think that 52mm bbk is? I hope we (you) aren't building a bomb!

I wouldn't go that far, but I would bet that none of our scoots are tuned to the point of noticing the difference.

Oh yes there is a huge difference
That is the reason I want to find one of these 13 section pipes
It took Fastplastics ride from mild to wild when paired with a 28mm carb
At first glance these two pipes seem to be the same, but if you bring out the tape measure, you will see the are indeed different.
