I just intalled a supertrap muffler that my buddy gave me,he had one replaced under his insurance when his bike came off the trailer and there wasnt anything wrong with it so i got it and put it on yesterday.very easy to install so going back stock wont be a problem.has anyone used these pipes? going for a test ride later and will post the results.

 

Is this the IDS2 WITH THE HEADER PIPE? AND IS IT OFF OF A 2000 AND DOWN MODEL SP500?

 

no its the open end w/discs/with header pipe supertrap,and it is off a 99 model but it fit on there with no problems,havent had a chance yet to test it because of storms in the area,boy it sure does sound good.

 

why would you ask if it was off a 2000 and below sp??? it worked great alittle loud though,i did seem to pick up some more power.

 

Did you establish a base line acceleration run with the old silencer and time it? Then install the Supertrapp and time it again?

 

I haven't seen one advertised for the SP500HO yet. All of the pipes that are listed for the sportsman only go up to the 1999 or 2000 model. And comparing my buddys 99 stock sportsman pipe to the one on my HO it looks as if the HO header pipe in larger than the 99's. I am just wondering if the aftermarket pipes will be the same, A larger header pipe for the HO.

 

should have done a timed run but i didnt.it feels more responsive and faster.

 

Shaggy500HO - How come you shelved your green spring? I'm in the process if modding out my SP500 and I was looking at a green spring.

silverado - Was the pipe excessive loud and was the power gain worth the money and noise?

Thanx ahead of time.

well I'd have to say it just didn't work for me.
When I first put in the green spring alone I lost about 8 mph in low and it felt like the belt sliped alot, I never tried to top it out in high it was to icy. I than tried the heavy weights for the non HO SP500 and it helped some, but it was a little low on rpm in high at speed(It needs lighter wieghts) and it would only do about 56mph on my speedo. Now that it has the blue spring and stock wieghts it will hit 60mph on the speedo on the same road just like when new. Also my belt is very glazed. And that happened the day before I put the green spring in. I was playing in some fresh snow and I was using high when I should have been using low. A new belt may have helped but I won't know till next time.
Also if I get a tach to tune the clutching better I will try all of this again. But untill than its staying on the shelf.
P.S. The thing about changing the spring and wieghts is what works on your quad might not work on mine and vice-versa
