thanks pete. unfortunately, the u.s. customs inspects all incoming vehicles to the u.s. for a sticker that says the machine meets federal requirements. However, before shipping it would be as wheelie said, just put the factory muffler back on. If Kwang hee is able to ride again when she gets home, we will ship the scoot to Oregon and begin a bit of a trip. I will have to build some extra support for her because her right side is almost paralyzed now although the meds figure that she will recover most of the use she had there. I figure on cutting an office chair up and making the backside into a cushioned affair with comfy arms and guard rails head high. maybe even a seat belt to hold her in snugly. the muffler is now the least of the concerns. hope to see you in california on the way through. if it works out, we will come across the Mojave from phoenix up through bakersfield, pick up I-5 and head for the barn in Lebanon, Oregon. take care, joe
