Lower gears would make all the difference in the world if it was available other then spending 3000 dollars on portals wish someone knew if the ring gear and pinion in a p500 would fit the p700 there a good reduction there
Tuner, exhaust,KN airfileter an snorkel helped mine a good bit. Before a hill at the huntin club mine would bog down going up now I can spin all 4 an also my buddies viking would get me pretty good after the upgrades I can stay a head of him a good bit till I hit top speed then he is able to get by.
To me the $500 I spent was well worth the Lil more Getty up it gave mine
I think I'm going to add the tip and air filter and see how that does. Mine already has a snorkel so I'm good there. If those items don't help I'll consider a tuner but I need to do a little more investigating before dropping that much money on something that could result in zero change. I like to know what I'm getting before spending a few hundred dollars on things.

LP if you're not to concerned with how loud your machine is I would consider looking at a full exhaust system from Yoshimura. It is a straight through, free flow design. I could feel a difference with mine for sure. The drawback (for some anyway) is it is pretty loud, honestly the sound doesn't bother me a bit. The stock muffler has baffles inside, my concern for you guys is that just putting on a tip won't do enough to combat the restriction caused by the baffles. This is all just speculation though.
Went with big gun its a Lil loud though an has to be repacked often
How loud are we talking? I already think the 700 is loud when riding. Do you mean loud out of the back or even louder inside? When my wife and I are riding roads we can barely talk over it now.

At wide open throttle you can forget about talking. Cruising speed isn't terrible though. You and your wife must be newlyweds, not being able to hear your wife is actually a big selling point!!
Lol not quite newlyweds, we've been married 6yrs. We actually talk when we ride believe it or not
I'm not sure I want to get mine any louder. To me they are already way too loud. The extra power sure would be nice though. Did you have trouble bogging down before changes? Did it clear it up completely?

I'm anxious to see some testing on this.
I'm watching @joeymt33 on the other thread playing with his 1000.
Can the baffles be removed from the stock muffler? or would you have to cut it open?
I want to improve stall torque or start-up torque. In other words, when my 30" wheels are deep in the mud, I want to be able to turn them.

I used a Doebeck, K&N, and new exhaust tip on my P700. I didn't do any timed runs like I'm doing on the pioneer 1000. However I did notice that it would spin the tires more easily, it would get out of the hole quicker. That's what the butt dyno said anyway.

I put it on so long ago I don't really remember how it was stock... I know it improved throttle response and low end power. Will it cure your problems? I really can't say but it will help at the very least.Lol not quite newlyweds, we've been married 6yrs. We actually talk when we ride believe it or not

For the stock muffler I guess you could possibly drill out the baffles. You'd need one hell of a long drill bit though

Ok I kind of figured. I read that they recommended every 6-8 hrs for off-road use. I was like dang! That would get expensive...

Ha yeah I wouldn't get that carried away. That's kind of like when I rode 2 stroke dirt bikes and "they" recommend rebuilding the top end every 8-10 hours. Nobody does it that often.
