MT2 Hop Ups
I got an MT2 from my wife for christmas, I knew it was coming, but thats besides the point. So far I've added the racing clutch, which adds a bit of customization for take of speed, as well as the fiber brake disk. I also found a custom dual exhaust that goes out the back, but it was originally made for the MT. It takes a bit of customization to fit it in. Alot of this can be avoided by purchasing the carbon fiber rear shock tower that is listed on the back of the instruction booklet. The dual exhaust is made of copper, and i found it on Ebay. In order to get it to fit, you need a piece of copper pipe about the width of the exhaust header, and about 1 inch long. You'll also need two exhaust couplers. The way that the exhaust fits, it goes up and back, then wraps around behind the motor and splits off to go on both sides of the shock tower. At the point where it meets the shock tower you'll have to use a hammer to re-shape the tubing so it is square, with the points facing up and down and left and right, this allows it to fit in the stock shock tower. I don't believe any modification is necessary with the carbon fiber shock tower. Get the motor bolted in, then position the exhaust. Here is the tricky part, you must somehow get that piece of copper tubing , with half of one exhaust coupler one side, and the other on the other side, then couple it from the dual exhaust, to the exhaust header. From here, all you ahve to do is zip-tie it down. It will help to add some kind of bonding agent to the exhaust pressure hose, as it fits a bit loosely, and in the future i'll be drilling a hole in the bottom of the exhaust with a stopper to drain the exhaust out.
If anyone finds this interesting, let me know and i can post pictures to assist in the making of it. Also there is a web site that covers alot of hop-ups for the MT that will fit the MT2, it is
nitromt.iwarp.com/options.htm
The website lists hop ups for the MT in order in which they should be applied, thought not all will work for the MT2, its more then anyone else has provided for the MT2.

Also, that double exhaust is loud, very loud...
