Will it make a difference?

[Ryeser]

Thinking about purchasing an aftermarket can for my 03 800 Edge. Does it really make a difference than stock? Is there any significant gain to buying one?

Thanks,

Ryeser, aka: no longer shortest track

well a aftermarket can might free up a few hp and lose around 7-10 lbs and the sound will be alot nicer

depending on what can you go with

you can pm with anymore questions or any other needs

I would keep an eye out for one in the swapmeet, or watch for guys parting out sleds too. Good deals to be had.

Yah... Noise. thats about it. Save your money and save our sport another black eye by not becoming another loud annoying snowmobiler.

Cans are a waste of money and make fighting for our right to ride that much more difficult. I hate the dang things. And they make next to no difference in performance.

Spend the same amount of money on clutch tuning. It will be well worth it. Never put a can on any of my sleds. If you need more power buy a bigger engine. If you want to lighten the sled. Work out & diet. You'll feel better & so will the sled. Harder for the skinny guys. But they are already light. Not preaching just my observations. Personally I don't mind the noise in someone else's sled. But I have a couple of tree hugger neighbors & they sure chirp about it when a can equipped sled goes by.
My 2 cents.

Cans and pipes close trails. With 95% of cans you loose HP but gain a bunch of noise that will close trails do the sport a favor say NO TO CANS. I have heard it all , the can saves 7-10 lbs (think Jenny) will only run a can in the mtns.(why change it we are going agan next weekend) my favorite is its a quit can (if you are on crack) . So if you like helping people close trails fill your boots and get a can or do the right thing

Thanks for the opinions! No can for ME! I have enough power, and all my fiends already know that I have a hard enough time staying on as it is!

I think you should just bring some of your workers
to help you out when you are stuck...

Ryeser, are you aware that there is a snowmobile club in the Parkland County, that has Signed, Groomed Trails?

You know me Smurf, I just can not seem to hang on to the POOlaris Power, perhaps adjusting the handlebars and rising them up will help me from falling off and trying to dig out! I will have to come up with another excuse this year.

If you want to make that Pussy fly we need to make it air flow in and out
better.
I can help, your stock can needs to go, air box needs to go, replaced by pods.
We can rejet it and up to the stars you go after hiting a tree...

Can I bring along some duct tape, you guys can tape my hands to the handle bars, so I can not let go. Take the choice to bail off the agenda!

I can't feel any difference with mine. I use the stock muffler the odd time I ride around home. When I hit the Rockies I put on the can. The only thing better about the can is that it gives me more room for the shovel.

I was reading a good article on tuned resonators. Cat has been doing this for a long time. Not sure about the other manufacturers. That's why to this day even aftermarket pipes work best with stock can. It's all about the frequency and especially pressure of the return waves. I tested a can on my ZR and noticed immediately that rpm's would seem to "run on" when I let off the throttle. With stock can it was the opposite and the return of rpm's to the lower state meant better throttle response and pull. Many Cats LOSE power with aftermarket cans. Only advantage is the weight loss. 11 pounds for the one I tested!! Tempting, but I'm staying stock.

Get rid of the stock can! That'll reduce heat, weight, and you'll sound like you are going fast:d There are planty of manufacturers that make a good sounding unit that isn't godawfully loud...or you could get some SLP twins. Way better power and quiet
