Can are notorious for causing engine seizures and blow ups!!!


Really, they are just noise makers... Some cause power losses, cause weird issues with newer sleds equipped with knock and egt sensors.
That said, I personally love loud sleds but on the race track only. enjoy....

 

My GGB trail can performs great.

 

Never heard of a can that caused an engine failure. Personally ultra q cans sound nice .. deep growl on the 800 anyhow

 

Stock cans are quieter and most of the time give the same if not better performance than aftermarket. To me the only real benefit of aftermarket is weight savings and room in the engine bay

 

"can" and "exhaust" are 2 very different animals. If you go with just a can, most will be a non-issue when it comes to performance or engine reliability. There are some that are just slapped together with no thought or real design behind them that can actually cause problems, but the top brands (GGB, SLP, Bikeman, Jaws, HPS, Skinz to name a few) are safe. I'm not going to get into my personal thoughts or experiences on the others not mentioned....:stirthepot: Just because it's loud, doesn't mean it's more powerful... remember, the more stickers the faster you are. :roflmao: Kind of the same concept when dealing with can's, none really provide more HP but they all are a big (huge) weight savings over stock.

A full fledged exhaust system will generally require clutching/fuel mods and if not done correctly can lead to engine failure.

My personal choice, and top seller of all time exhaust can's.... GGB!! For a full system, it's hard to beat the SLP, they really put a lot of research into making sure they put out quality pipes that perform better than stock and when tuned correctly can add considerable HP, safely.

 

I test everything real world. and guess what? not one can NONE have made any h.p. or made a sled faster.

pipes make h.p. cans are a muffler. mufflers don't.

same day same two sleds that were as dead even as possible. putting a bunch of different cans on one sled. that sled was slower every time. some by a lot.

yes a can, can cause motor issue's on newer sleds. some won't even run with them. anything monitoring ex. gas temp can have a issue changing anything on the ex. which in turn could cause the ecu to add fuel, subtract fuel, or retard the timing.

the weight savings does not lead to any performance gain. just a lighter wallet.

 

I put the SLP can on my wife's 600 rush to make it easier to work on and inspection purposes. Has a nice sound put no real performance added. A clutch kit is the best bang for your buck.

 

Just put a bikeman full velocity on my 600 rush and it has a deep grumble at idle and low rpm. Sounds good through the whole rpm range. Not really droney either. Not too loud at all and so simple to install
