Tuned pipes[]
Puzey Power Pipe. The Puzey Power Pipe was designed specifically for use with this engine on the Evo 2x, Evo 2 or Evo SPX scooters. Because of this, no modifications should be necessary to adapt it. On the Active 50, the Puzey Power Pipe will cause a significant increase in low-mid range power, but will not increase RPMs noticeably.
Puzey Race Pipe.
ADA GSR40 Pipe.
Porting[]
Porting is somewhere this engine really shines. This engine is no toy to begin with, but porting can squeeze quite a bit more out of it. With a skilled hand, ported Active 50s have lived long lives pushing stand up scooters to the 50s.
