2 stroke/4stroke exhaust?

[bigred1]

Will some one educate me on the reason the exhausts look/sound so different? Are there different exhausts to make a 2-stroke quiter? never had a 2-stroke but I'm thinking about it.

this is because on a 2 stroke, the head pipe is called an expansion chamber, they are an intricate part of the combustion cycle. the chamber allows the correct pressure to broaden and control the powerband, which would without the pipe would be extremely narrow.

i'm no expert on this though so im sure a member will give you a better answer

Lets not forget, 2 strokes are so much cheaper to repair.
