P500 Exhaust is on the way

I just got home so I could finally watch your video. That is awesome!!!!! I love the sound! Were you lifting when you were shifting or just holding it to the floor? Definitely seems snappy. Thank you so much for this post!

Just making sure this is the one you bought before I order it?

 

[jak9922]

that's the one I ordered

 

[jak9922]

also you will have to cut off the old exhaust hangers and weld one on lower ill see if I can get a close up shot of how I have it

 

[Skullmonkey]

I was just getting ready to ask about the hangers. So you pretty much put the new hanger where it needed to be so that the pipes would line up?

 

[jak9922]

your old exhaust cut off right at the welds for the cat also on the hmf cut off JUST the part where its reduced and it will match right up

 

[Skullmonkey]

Almost sounds too easy

 

[jak9922]

yes I bolted the rubber bushing to the silencer reused the hanger I cut off connected it to the other end of the bushing then welded it to the frame

 

[jak9922]

Almost sounds too easy

if you can weld it really is easy

ive been looking into that to hahahah even a high compression piston

I don't see why a big bore kit for the 500 atv's wouldn't fit lol. Idc about top speed I just need a little more power, 3rd gear just ain't got it for going through a big mud hole an there's just not enough momentum in 2nd lol

 

[jak9922]

try it after the exhaust it gets rid of the 3rd gear low bogging I haven't tried mud yet but on turns and hills where id have to down shift to 2nd I don't now

I could see the cat really holding back. I'd say if you just cut it out an left the stock muffler you'd notice a big difference

 

[jak9922]

yea but even the stock muffler is just a little pea shooter lol

True enough, but then you loose the spark arrester, a must on BLM/NFS trails. Though that's not likely an issue in southern Ohio.

Actually, I believe the spark arrestor is located at the back end of the muffler. Ever noticed the plug on the bottom of the muffler? Periodically you're supposed to remove that plug and rev the engine. This cleans the carbon out of the spark arrestor. I don't believe gutting the cat would have any effect on the function of the spark arrestor, but I suppose I could be wrong.

Or I could be, it's just what I was told here when I asked about it!!

I contacted Supertrapp about making an exhaust. They are not going to do one for the Pioneer 500. They recommended their universal mufflers.
