If the scoot is new i would leave it for a year it should be fine. all aftermarket pipes will be destroyed with that mileage i reckon

Gotta be a PM 
Never thought i'd say that after the problems i had with their P2 and T5 pipes years ago but their pipe for the GTS i cant fault.
Is a bit noisey if your planning early starts but i've added their decibel killer to mine and its not so bad. I think the new ones come with that fitted. |

I have to agree with Monty 
I had an LV but the Piaggio part of the exhaust let me down so I've gone PM.
That said The LV itself was great. I still ahve it and it's for sale if your interested

I've got a scorpion with a carbon end can - and it's superb.
Not as noisy as a PM and looks far better imo. |

The later scorpions are supposed to be better, but ive never been a fan of anything theyve ever made so i still stay clear...
The PM is nice, and the new ones with the DB killer option make it probably the best of the bunch, even though it is expensive.... without the DB killer they are very loud so keep the DB killer as you might want it if you plan touring europe on it.
The Leo Vinces are very nicely made as well, and dont look as "boy racer" as the PM, much more subtle and being titanium they keep there finish better than the PM... but they only a silencer so use the original 3" piaggio downpipe, which isnt really a problem but some people seem bothered so its worth knowing.
Theres also Gianelli who make very well built systems, ive never heard one on a GTS as yet, and GPR make a can for the GTS now...

I assume you mean the Leo Vince CT 
I found the piaggio down pipe to be an issue when it split in 2
