Default G2 Lifan swap

getting ready to swap my 32 yr old engine in my G2 with Lifan 15hp, need to know is there a cheaper pulley behind the comet clutch other than one from vegas, as i am going to use original starting system. The other help i will need is the exhaust what muffler and exhaust pipe options do i have. I do want to keep it quite as possible and dont want to use flex pipe. Thank all will be posting pics soon

Lots of ideas from many people in my "clone exhaust" thread. An often used solution is the VC header with the Walker 18192 muffler behind it.

The last I seen most of the clones still had the exhaust port at roughly 90 degrees off the cylinder head. The main exception to the was some Duromax's with the port at roughly 60 degrees off the cylinder head. The hemi was also off to some extent. IF you have the lifan already it easy enough to check.

Mine sets down towards the back of the cart due to my 4" lift. Maybe when I install the Omega engine I will correct this BUT it has been this way since 2014. That being said IF you can level the engine there is no reason not to.
