Description
With its new exhaust, Polini offers a nice alternative to the well-known candidates.
Like the Malossi RX exhaust, the Polini is also manufactured by Arrow, a guarantee of solid and noble workmanship. The exhaust has an aluminium body with a matt anodized and brushed surface as well as a stainless steel interior and manifold.
A gimmick is the fast de/mountable DB-Killer insert, which is held by a snap ring.
The exhaust is like almost all exhaust systems for the GTS/GTV models as a so-called slip-on version. The enclosed manifold is therefore mounted on the original exhaust pipe of the vehicle. The lambda sensor is therefore retained and does not need to be touched to mount the exhaust.
The polini muffler has an E(9) homologation for the noise for the following vehicles:
- VESPA 125 GTS – M45 var.3 ver.0/1
- VESPA 250 GTS – M45 var.1 ver.0/1
- VESPA 250 GTV – M45 var.1 ver.2
- VESPA 300 GTS/GTV – M45 var.2 ver.0/2
A catalytic converter is not included. It can be purchased separately.

NOTE for vehicles from 125ccm upwards with homologation date after 01.01.2006:
These may only be operated with a regulated catalytic converter.
If this is removed, the type approval expires.
Vehicles with Euro3 standard can be recognized by the embossed test marks on the original exhaust system:
The last two circled numbers are decisive here.
The 5 confirms the homologation for a Euro3 tested vehicle.
The 9 confirms compliance with the noise limits.
Many manufacturers of aftermarket and sports exhaust systems limit themselves only to the approval of the rear silencer with regard to the noise values (9).
These are only legally usable in road traffic in combination with an optional catalytic converter. The insert catalytic converter then has the marking (5)
Remus and Akrapovic offer their systems with optional catalytic converter insert. This means that they are approved as a fully-fledged replacement and conform to the approval.
LeoVince and Polini currently do not offer this option.
This means that these systems are equipped without a catalytic converter, the manufacturers do not offer retrofit kits (as of 06.2015) and are therefore not officially approved for operation on vehicles with a homologation as of 01.01.2006 (Euro3).
How do I recognize which emission standard my scooter has?
Euro3 vehicles can be recognized by the fact that they:
– necessarily an injection (i.E.)
– use a regulated catalytic converter with lambda sensor
.
The key numbers in the vehicle registration document provide the most reliable information:
Euro1 and Euro2
Old vehicle registration document: number 1,2 Key: 00, 09, 10
New vehicle registration document: number 14.1 key 020, 029 or 0210
Euro3
New registration document: number 14.1 key 0212
Note: The original chassis of the Vespa GT/GTS models is very softly tuned. A sports exhaust can therefore graze the fairing when the suspension is strongly compressed. This can be remedied by a conversion to better tuned sport dampers, e.g. from BGM (see accessories).
