Exhaust spacer

[JChilders]

I bought a new exhaust for my baja 5b. It came with a spacer and there was a spacer with the old exhaust, but the spacer pushed the exhaust out too far. Can I leave the spacer off or does it have some other purpose?

Dump it they are stupid ! I think someone thought they would look nice ??? never seen them used on ANY other 2 stroke in the world ????? check any dirt bike or Kart motor ! no spacers.

they are pointless like buzz said, toss it

They are point less?‍ although my v1 dominator will not fit without it?‍

I was wondering what the hell that thing that came with the dominator I got. I skipped it across a pond walking my dog.?‍

 

[buzzkill]

use Em to fit your pipe correctly otherwise make it into a ??????

Until I got a 1/5 I had never seen anything like them ? Im like WTF is this thing ??

what spacers are you guys talking about, pics?

Lemme dig through my phone, think I have a pic
Its the little spiky think below the tx

ohhh, Yeah I got one on my pipe, just another place for a leak

Actually exhaust spacers are good until they heat up. Works better when its a liquid cooled spacer. Makes a better resenence at lower rpm.

so it AIR !!! Lol

Well the point is the surrounding area is a lower temperature making it harder for the heated gasses to come back into the cylinder while keeping air and fuel into the chamber however the aluminum spacer heats up too quickly and becomes useless after 2 mins.

Ya I don't buy that , its not a air curtain like at a fast food place ! plus the velocities are way to high to act that way , again the Dirt bike MFG have 0 spacers , Kart motors 0 spacers , GP old bikes 2 stroke 0 spacers , point me to a paper or something that makes a case for this effect please .

years ago we looked at dry ice cooling intake air but determined that it was only really good for drag racing because it did not last long enough , also you almost had to use screen in the air flow to distribute the cold so ?? .

This isn't a theory its science. A proven one at that. There is a reason why raceboats do it

send me some links or anything on it , I want to check it out and see why

Same principle. He explains why not to wrap at the header.

Makes sense to me
