Racing exhaust JL-Style Lefthand stainless steel for Vespa PX200 / P200E - mature classic, strong overrev, maximum ground clearance
Stainless steel - rustproof
Lefthand design
Mature classic (25+ years)
Strong pre-reso performance
Wideband & overrev
32 mm tailpipe (thermally uncritical)
Very good ground clearance
Wide tires possible
Plug-and-play
History & field of application
The RS-Series is a mature classic in the best sense of the word: Originally developed for the Malossi 210, it has established itself as an all-rounder - from complete standard engines to 260 cc Quattrini or VMC "displacement monsters". It always delivers very good pre-reso performance combined with a strong top end and wide rev range/overrev - ideal for powerful 200cc PX setups with a sporty gear.
Characteristics
Early punch thanks to pre-reso, powerful in the middle, very rev-happy at the top end.
After the peak, the power only drops off slowly - the long overrev enables high cruising and top speeds.
The 32 mm tailpipe makes the exhaust thermally uncritical on high-output and high-temperature setups.
The sound: powerful, beguilingly muffled - sporty without being shrill.
Setup and transmission ratio
- Works from standard up to 260 cc (e.g. Malossi/MHR, Quattrini, VMC).
- Standard carburetor possible; depending on the setup, a larger carburetor/intake tract may be advisable. Clean jetting is mandatory (check spark plug pattern/EGT).
- Do not choose a primary that is too long - the engine should rev freely to take advantage of overrev.
Installation and tuning
Plug-and-play at the original points in Lefthand. Install tension-free, set sealing surfaces cleanly, retighten screw connections after 50-100 km. Spare wheel cannot be combined - in return very good ground clearance and wide tire suitability.
Technical details
✅ Exhaust body: Stainless steel
✅ Tailpipe: 32 mm (high flow rate)
✅ Design: Lefthand, without spare wheel
✅ Character: Strong pre-reso, wide bandwidth, long overrev
✅ Application: Vespa PX200 / P200E (depending on model/setup)
Quality and workmanship
Turned flange parts instead of simple pipe sections - for maximum fitting accuracy on the cylinder and manifold connector.
Solid clamp on the flange, optionally with spring suspension - decouples vibrations, increases long-term stability.
Clean weld seams, precisely fitting brackets - durable, tight connections.
Choice of materials: Stainless steel or painted steel
| Corrosion |
Stainless steel: rust-free, suitable for winter. |
Steel: paint protection required; can rust. |
| Cracking tendency* |
Stainless steel: somewhat more susceptible to cracking with many heat cycles (expansion/hotspots). |
Steel: tends to be less susceptible. |
| Maintenance |
Stainless steel: little effort. |
Steel: check/repaint paint spots. |
* The required mileage is generally not achieved in hobby use.
Setup note: 200 cc
In principle also works on a standard engine, but offers more visual and sound advantages. Very compatible with Malossi MHR cylinders; Malossi sports cylinders should be reworked at the exhaust for full performance. Also a very good choice for Quattrini M232/244 and VMC Ranger 213 as well as Explorer 244.
Yes. The RS-Series has become an all-rounder - from standard to 260 cc. The 32 mm tailpipe offers sufficient throughput, the bandwidth/overrev is retained.
Strong pre-reso provides early usable torque - better elasticity and pulling power without constant downshifting.
No - the JL-style design cannot be combined with a spare wheel. Advantage: very good ground clearance; wide tires are possible.
