The MLM Yamaha LB50/LB80 Chappy Scorpion Pipe looks fantastic and was fairly easy to install. If you're buying it for appearance, you'll probably be happy. Unfortunately, performance was a different story. I gained about 2-3 mph on the top end, but getting there takes forever. The stock exhaust pulls much harder through the midrange, while this pipe completely killed my power band. Hills that were easy before became a struggle, and acceleration feels noticeably worse. I've spent months rejetting and tuning, trying to make it work, but no matter what I did, the stock pipe consistently performed better for normal riding. The extra top speed isn't worth losing all that usable power. My biggest frustration is that Treatland wouldn't accept a return even though I contacted them just a few days after purchase. Bottom line: great-looking pipe, disappointing performance. Buy it for the aesthetics, not for speed or rideability.

Mounted it on a 50cc (LB50) 3-speed semi automatic Chappy and it's bolt on. My guess is it will fit every Chappy, that doesn't have pedals, without any modifications.
There was however one minor issue for me. The kickstarter didn't run freely. It just touches the silencer end pipe. But that was quickly fixed by tilting in the end piece. I drilled and threaded new holes (in the loose end piece) so I could turn it counter clock wise by 3mm or so. Then the kick moved freely. You could also just saw off a few mm from the curved end pipe, but I choose the other "invisible" way.
I'm very satisfied with this exhaust and the build quality is just amazing!
I wrote a blog post (in Swedish) but there are a lot of images that could be inspiring even for the non Swedish folks. You'll find it at: http://semestergas.se/mlm-scorpio-for-chappy/
