August 2002 Dirt Wheels, Page 190, has a small article on "Exhaust Fragrances."

They cost $10.00 to treat 20 gallons of fuel.

They come in grape, cherry, root beer and cocnut and are suppossed to make your exhasut smell great without causing any type of damage to your engine, regardless of the fuel type.

In fact, according to this article, top fuel dragsters use a similar product to "mask" their alcohol burning engine's repugnant odor.

Has anyone tried this? Which is the best fragrance?

well why would you want to do that. putting something like that in my gas tank is not worth it. and you couldnt smell it since pipe is behind you. the smell of a sweet 2-stroke appeals to my nose much more than the 10 dollar stuff.

Ive smelled the grape and cherry. I like the grape! Most guys that run alcohol run the additive for the reason you describe, to mask the smell of the alcohol. Remember, alot of guys that run that kind of setup are probably running drag pipes, which in many instances, exit out of the side, so the rider will smell it quite a bit.

I went ahead and ordered 2 bottles of the Cherry.

It sounds kinda fun!

Has anyone else tried these fragrances?

Roostking: I just went to your site and saw one of your Banshee has Drag Pipes. What brand are they?

I have Drag Pipes also and would like to know where to get that rubber lined bracket you have on each pipe just before it begins bending up towards the rear? This bracket is about 8 inches below your exhaust flange and appear to bolt onto the lower frame. What is it and where did you get it? Are you concerned that it might make the pipes too rigid and susceptible to cracking since they are attached so tightly to the frame?

take a look in the Summit catalog their are probally about 20 or so different fragrances, I think somebody in the atv mag needed something to fill a spot so they decided to print something that car people have had for along time.

after my trip to silver lake I think that the "Exhaust Fragrances" would be nice. just not for my raptor. some of them 2-strokes really smelled bad. My 2-stroke never smelled like that stinky fumes of the others out on the dunes
