Its an X-treme XP-489 and im pretty sure it has the same motor as a Calligri, so i was wondering if i could just buy an oem calligri exhaust pipe? If not do you know of any racing ones that would fit it that are under $100

Lots of pipes for lots less than 100 dollars for cag motors. Jet pro, phatty pipe, Ip2 if you're willing to try and make it work. there are also less expensive performance pipes that simply have a bigger belly and headpipe.

Alot of websites are sold out... you are better off sticking with what you've got and restoring/building up.

That's a big Yes, you will have to replace half the stuff on the new bike, so just fix the one you got. PBParts in Florida online has a hp chrome under and up exhaust for $39, I have 2 & one I turn into a side pipe and put it on my Lucky 7. Buy $100 in parts get free shipping. See Photos
