Ron Wood Racing Develops Power Gains for the Powerhouse
By: Jason Giacchino
It’s rare to hear owners of one thousand cc ATVs demanding horsepower increases but Ron Wood Racing isn’t taking any chances!
As the domestic distributor for Rotax four stroke engines since 1980, Ron Wood Racing has been designing and manufacturing performance exhaust systems for over 30 years, specializing in the Can-Am product line. With the introduction of the Can-Am Commander, two systems have been developed, one a Dual Exhaust Muffler Conversion, and the other a Single Exhaust Muffler Conversion kit.
Both systems utilize the stock headpipe attaching to a custom “stepped” midpipe section, then to a tapered megaphone and reverse cone design for greater midrange and top end horsepower. Units are completely fabricated from 304-stainless steel with double mounting brackets on the mufflers for durability under stressful operating conditions. The mufflers are filled with endless strand type packing for long life.
Three end caps are available; open end, turn down, or spark arrestor. Ron Wood’s own design spark arrestor is an external mounted screen and billet end cap with virtually no loss of power, plus a reduction in noise level (opposed to other spark arrestors or quiet cores that are mounted internally, resulting in a loss in horsepower).
No body parts or bed modifications (or bed removal) required for installation (about two hours). A preprogrammed fuel controller is also available with the Stage I kit.
Pricing breaks down as follows:
Dual Exhaust Muffler Conversion $ 932.00
Single Exhaust Muffler Conversion $ 825.00
