some one told me that a clutch kit would help with low end power. What does a clutch kit do?

 

I have the Outlaw Super-Duty Clutch Kit in my Rancher. It increases the engine RPMs by 500 so that the tires spin with more power built up. It's supposed to help in deep mud, etc. Clutch kits are a very popular upgrade for both sport and utility quads.

 

do you like your hmf muffler and is it loud is it louder then the utility, I run in national forest should I exchange mine pipe for a ECO system

 

I am a reallly, really, big fan of the Eco-System. I think it's a highly under-appreciated pipe. It is barely louder than stock (5Dbs) but has the same power of my old and louder Supertrapp! It also looks nice. If you ride National Forest, then yes, I would definetly get it over the Utility version. From how I understand it, even with the quiet core, it is still loud....very loud. With the Eco you would always be within park service standards.

 

could you still get power with it. I put the 26 mud lites on my 450 kodiak and i love the tires, I just want some power back

 

If you switch to an after-market filter and reject with it (or any pipe) you will notice a very significant increase in power.

 

I took the utility pipe back today and ordered a ecosystem, Thanks for your help.how does the eco sound. I know it won't be as loud but is the tone better then the stock pipe. and did you try it with the jets

 

It does have a nice tone, not loud though. I think you'll like it. It sounds a lot louder to you on the machine but those behind you, etc don't notice it being really loud. I still had the machine jetted for the Supertrapp when I put mine on and then rejetted afterwards, only to find out that the HMF took the exact same jet settings. I've got a neighbor custom making me an exhaust snorkel to bolt to it. Another nice thing about the pipes is how the rear cap unscrews allows you to weld a snorkel on and replace the end cap with a stock one when you don't need it.

 

how long did you have the pipe on before you rejetted

 

At the same time I put the pipe on, I went from a DJ 124 to a DJ 122 because I thought the pipe would be a little more restrictive than the Supertrapp. I did a plug test to see how I was reading and it showed I was lean. I ended up back at the 124 afterwards because the HMF flowed the same as the Supertrapp. Also, I went riding yesterday and had the first real opportunity to try my clutch kit out. It makes a very noticible difference spinning the tires in the deep, thick, stuff!
