Sigh, I don't mean to get on a soapbox here, but please make noise an issue....that way the tree-****'s will have one less thing to scream about when they try to close your ridding area.

Uhum, with that said.

My two faves are to Jet-hot coat the stock head-pipe, and use the Pure Polaris/ White Bros silencer. You can add a couple extra discs (as long as you use the quiet core) and still keep the sound reasonable.

There's also a pic in my gallery of the new HPD full system. Top notch gear from the Polaris specialists.

Sorry to preach about the sound, heck they even sound tested our harescrambles last season.

I didn't want to seem like a rebel about the noise,we ride mostly in the desert or dunes.My yoshi ,even on a 300 ex is very loud,we don't want to go any louder than that. Is there really a big difference in performance increases between pipes?thanks

Fender, no big deal, I just like to error on the side of caution.

The HPD internals were re-done from the first prototypes, they're just a bit louder than stock....just enough to let someone next to ya know there's something different. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Fender, you have nothing to be sorry for. I think most people would understand what you meant.
A simple solution to the noise problem would be for pipe/silencer manufactures to be required to make there products quiet and spark arrested, for race or not. Making it illegal for manufactures to produce these loud pipes that they claim are for race only, knowing most people will be using it otherwise, would help more than anything to solve the problem.
