Re: 88 ezgo marathon lack of power
If this is a 4 stroke cart, any muffler will work ok. Sound wise, the stock muffler in stock form will be the quietest. Anything else will be louder, but will perform better. A larger outlet pipe would work fine, just be louder.

I'm not a 2 stoke guy but heard bad crank seals are pretty common on them,
also heard they have to have a certain amount of back pressure to run right. |

Re: 88 ezgo marathon lack of power
I wouldn't put a bigger outlet pipe on it, as said above it needs back pressure to run right. Although the inner pipes may be what gets that back pressure so great idea to weld them back in, but I would guess the outlet pipe has a lot to do with it too.......
Keep it as stock as you can get it, that muffler is designed to get just the right amount of back pressure for the best performance. |
