I'm looking to install a new muffler kit on my 2004 kodiak. I'm looking for a little more power. I ride mainly trails, some hills, some mud. I also ride in national forest. so which muffler kit is right for me and my riding.

 

I run an HMF on my BigBear and I am pleased with it. However riding in that type of area, spend the extra cash and get the quiet core/spark arrestor insert. Its worth it.

 

did you rejet the card and air filter to. or just add the muffler. could you tekk a differnce in power

 

I changed the filter to a K&N. I did not Re-jet as HMF said it did not require it. My bike is running great (nice medium brown plug) and the increase is definatly there, I notice it alot from my freinds Bear. The Kodiack my be a little different form the Bear though......

 

Yeah I got the HMF as well and thouroughly enjoy it. The power is a nice upgrade over stock. I did re-jet and add a k&n with outerwears. I bought the quite core/arrestor and put it in once just to see what happend. It made the sound similar to stock and it seemed to restrict it a little bit over an open muffler. I ran all over National Forest this weekend without the arrestor (whoops) and was stopped by the Rangers, but they never said anything about it. I really like the HMF and was very pleased with the gains.

 

so you just installed the pipe and changed the filter and did not rejet and this got you more power

 

so you did not rejet
