Default Converting dual exhaust to single

Okay, personal preference only, the dual muffler set-up that came stock on my 800 Deluxe is too loud for me.

I just picked up a Polaris 800 single muffler and will swap the duals out tomorrow. The dual mufflers will then be up for sale on ebay unless someone here would like them.

They are silver with no damage and have only 11 hours on them. Retail price for them is $491.00, I'll let them go to a member for $350.00 shipped.

Anyone interested please reply to this thread.

I went from a dual deluxe to a single stealth. I don't think the single is much quieter. I am going to go with an Aaen single after my stealth is out of warranty.

We have two 800's and a 700 in the group I ride in. I am adding a Grizz 700 to it on Thursday. I see alot of bigger bikes up in Hurley but they all tend to be the non-locals. I think for two reasons. First the economy up there isn't all that hot so the local people don't have the cash to fork over on the big bikes. Second, they know the area better than us tourists and they know the lighter bikes will make it thru the deep slop way better than our big quads. It's a big spot for atv's with over 200 miles of trails for the beginners all the way to the hardcores.

Not to say that the Stealth 800 has a stealthy exhaust, but it is quieter and has a smoother tone to it than the Deluxe with duals.

Either way, the duals will be up for grabs in two days.

How much did the single change over cost you?.........Caper........

At least you will get some money back if you sell your duals for 350.00

The new muffler was $131.00 from the dealer and another $16.00 for the gasket (just in case the existing one gets destroyed during removal of the duals.

That's pretty cheap. I wonder why the retail on the duals is so much higher. I know it is a two into one that splits back into two at a y pipe in the back. Does anyone know the weight savings of going to a single over the duals?

Actually its not even as good as that. It's a 2-into-1 header pipe that goes into the normal single muffler. Only this single muffler has a crossover tube on it that connects with the left side muffler. Unless the dual setup is made of a lighter material, I'd say that removing one muffler would save about 10 pounds.

Okay, I just swapped the mufflers. Each of the stock aluminum looking ones are just as heavy as the black single one. I'm going to ride the ATV to work today so I'll have a sound/ ride report tonight or tomorrow.
