Not normally the companies that make the exhaust systems spend hugh sums on money on r&d to match the exhaust to what the motor needs. The engine needs back pressure to run right (it helps get the exhaust out and a good intake charge in and keeps the valves at the correct operating temp. ) Also there is an expansion chamber in most 2 stroke engines and this will really screw up the back pressure on your 4 stroke see below I wouldn't do it.

Running it on 2 stroke gas would not cause any long term issues. Besides, 2 stroke is made up with 4 stroke gas being the primary gas. The reason it becomes 2 stroke gas is when you add the oil into it to make it into 2 stroke. Properties of 4 stroke still present. 2 stroke motors work differently to 4 stroke motors. On the lubrication side of things, 2 stroke motors require the lubrication from the 2 stroke oil to stop it from seizing up. Whereas, 4 stroke motors have an oil sump which allows it to be kept lubricated. Your motor would have smoked more then usual with the 2 stroke oil. Now that you have replaced the fuel it should be OK.

if it just the muffler and the pipe is the same size should be no problem,but you would be better of with a proper 4 stroke muffler as it will give better power.

perhaps, but not very well. even the wrong 4-stroke muffler can make the engine run badly, either too rich or too weak. There should be a balance between the fuel intake and the pressure resistance of the muffler
if you follow Turbocivic's advice you will burn out your exhaust valves

It may seem to work if it will line up, which I doubt. It will most likely give you problem down the road since the back pressure will not be correct and you will have to adjust your valve clearance more often. Get the right one, and jet it if it has a carb or go with a power commander if it is fuel injected and you will be much happier with the power gain.

For an ATV, just run a straight pipe. It will sound loud but can give you more power. Oh and yes to your question.

The muffler (silencer) will work. Not the exhaust pipe.

Shouldn't be a problem if all you need is an exhaust pipe. As long as the diameter is approxiamtely the same there should be no power loss, although, it is also unlikely that there would be any power gain.

If it is just the muffler part, you should have no problems.
