If you find a White Bros pipe you wont have to rejet even with a K&N filter.These 500s are fat from the factory.

I can't seem to find a White Brothers slip on that will fit. I emailed www.rockymountainatv.com asking for a fit for the 2006 and they replied that they couldn't help me. Anyone out there know a model number for White Brothers that fits the 2006? Any online dealers you would recommend?

Thanks for your responses!

Please tell us who your selling Dealer is and where they are located.


I feel for the guy who drops the coin for a new ATV and can't keep it running 2 days later because of crappy Mfg/design or improper dealer set-up. It's just plain un-acceptable imo.

I was a victum of poor Polaris R+D on the new 500EFI with the stalling and over-heating in the first 20 min of operation. I know first hand how you must feel.
Mine was purchased at Hinds Performance Motersports just north of Columbus, OH. My inlaws also had problems with this dealer and thier employees are very unhelpful. When I bought my Scrambler they had a Scrambler ball cap in the display case they said had been in there for a couple years. I told them I wanted them to throw in the hat with my purchase and they wouldn't do it. They wanted five dollars for it. I'm dropping $6500 on a new quad and they couldn't even throw in a $5 ball cap. The service up there is terrible. They act like you are troubling them when you go in the place to buy something. I will never deal with them again.

Here is a link to WhiteBros web site.You can find the part number and a dealer close to you.
But the thing has went up in price alot.
I like the Aaen megaphone in nickel plated with spak arrestor.It is expensive too but made real good with looks to match.

No link in the thread but if you're talking about www.whitebros.com, I've been there. Nothing on the site about the 2006 Scrammys. Only models for previous years. I sent the rider support team an email (sent it tonight). I look forward to a response by tomorrow (I hope).

If you saw something on the site I didn't, please let me know! Thanks Folks!

Air filter upgrade and clutching is where you see the biggest gains.Then a pipe will get you a little more.First thing you need to do is figure out HOW you ride and build your cluch for that.(you dont cluch for the pipe on a 4stroke like you do a 2stroke)
For a cheap upgrade on clutching I recomend the Dalton blk/white primary spring and ride aawhile to see how you like it and then add or change clytch parts from there.You can get a spring from Rick Riter.
