Hey new to the site still figuring out how it works Anyways i just got a 2002 sportsman 700 twin and it is really loud appears to be leaking where headers go into the the exhaust pipe its held together by springs ect.. haven't gotten really into it yet but just want see if anyone one else experienced this problem before and how to fix it! Thanks

 

yup that manifold always seems to crack on the 700's it's $70 for a new one and should be replaced

 

were did you find one?

 

welcome to the forum. replace it w/ a 800 header pipe which has a bigger output for better air flow and i think they were replacing the air box lids for intake air as well which in turn gave a little better performance. you might try ebay or a dealer can order. imo

 

alright ill check them out thanks

 

Check for broken motor mounts while your looking at it.

 

yea i will check i see that Polaris engine shake a lot

 

You could get some muffler tape from autozone, that is if it doesn't need to be wrapped around the springs.

 

I used to have an 04 I had issues with the header cracking and if its running cherry I burnt out 2 donuts before I rejetted had no issues after that headers can be found cheap I found one used on ebay for $24 to the house.

 

There is a an exhust seal in between the manifold and the main exhaust pipe, they need to be replaced every once in a while. The springs are a bugger to get on and off, a pair of vice grips or a hook tools works well for getting them off. Once the seal is replaced and its time to put the springs back on try this .... find a solid place to hook one end of the spring and pull with a pair of vice grips to stretch it out. Place pennies in between the loops until the spring is stretched to the length needed to get both ends on the mounts. Once you have the spring on the mounts just pull the pennies out with pliers. Kinda Red Green but if you dont have the right tools it works !
