Heard on SW forum . No Light weight can or track porting on T3 summits. But the weight will be the same. where did they save the weight then?

Kinda doubtful they did, skidoo has a storied history of lying about weights.

i heard they are going to only eliminate one row of porting. and the can thing was an emissions deal. not sure how polaris can meet it with a much smaller lighter can?

 

[Vance Matheson]

but there is a lighter weight can and also the rear heat exchanger is reduced by 50%.

 

[Vance Matheson]

weight savings comes from the rails and new t-motion parts as well as the seat and shorter track rods. the 163 3" track itself is the same weight as a 163 2.5"

I'm not sure how can size affects emissions? Unless referring to noise emissions?

im sure thats what he meant to say

Its mostly the heat exchanger, And the track rods... Thats a TON of weight... think of how many of those three inch peices of fiberglass they remove all the way around such a long track... Thats mass in rotation.

snowtech magazine breaks the weight loss down chain case -1.5 ,heat exchangers -4 ,lighter axles remove idler wheels -2.2 lightweight muffler -5 all in lbs.

Good thing they took weight out of the axles. The excess weight made the rear wheels fall off last year.

You guys are missing what the original poster said, there will NOT be a lightweight muffler on the T3 it will be the same as the 14,s and the track porting will NOT be like the demo sleds either.

Isn't that false advertising? Not that its a huge change, but the sleds people ordered aren't going to be what they're getting.

Read the fine print on all brochures. It states that things may be subject to change without notice. Nothing is set in stone really.

I know, but when its one of the main features of a new model?

Regardless it doesn't affect me, I neither own or have a doo on order.

90% of peeps will put a lightweight can on there new T3 anyways so if they had to cut something I guess thats the one that may not stir up the masses. I assume the can never made noise regulations? I would have thought BRP would have checked that out for the proto's first?

 

[Clode]

pretty normal move for them to make the protos rip and then dial them back for production for longevity

Yes according to the letter I read it said that the can never met noise regulation and track porting was changed do to durability issues.

Omg you guys are being SOOOO over dramatic lol. Dial them back??????? ITS A MUFFLER!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes they turned the twin turbos down......

I never said it was a lot, but when I worked in the industry the protos always worked a little better than production units, this was true for all OEMs

 

[T-team]

Maybe because they are hand built? The t3 prototypes worked the same as all the other ones
