I just got a 2001 Warrior and it had a wider rear axle, but stock front a-arms. I want to widen the front end cheaply. What will work? Also the pipe on it is mickey moused together. I need a good pipe that does not cost an arm and a leg. Any help?

 

Check out E-bay for a used aftermarket pipe and some used aftermarket A-Arms.

 

There is no cheap way to widen the front correctly. If you widen the front with a-arms then you need to upgrade your shocks that will handle the extra leverage of the new arms. Wheel Spacers will help but will affect the handling of the factory shocks. There is a company that makes a kit to widen the front by bolting on brackets and extending the a-arms out and keeps the factory geometry for the factory shocks, but I wouldn't run them on mine. I believe there was a post on here a while back where a guy had that kit on his Blaster and had a small wreck and the kit was destroyed.

As for the pipe, if you mean the header pipe, I would just find a used factory header pipe. You can find them for cheap everywhere and are almost just as good as any aftermarket pipes out there. If you mean the slip-on muffler if you want a new one I would get a $220 HMF sport series or see if you can find a used one on EBAY.

 

+1 on what was said above. You can get spacers for the front end, but they will make your already soft shocks even worse.

On the exhaust, if you have the stock setup on now, all you need is a slip-on. The stock header can handle all the flow and more that the lil 350 can push out until you decide to go into major internal mods, which are frankly not worth it, unless you're a Warrior enthusiast. Then it's just for the passion.

Enjoy your toy. I had great fun on mine and would love to get another one, but the second hand prices for ATVs in my area are ridiculous to put it mildly.

 

All I need is a slip on. The head pipe is fine, but the guy who had the quad before me did some nasty welds on a muffler that looks like it is for a pit bike. It keeps falling off and nothing lines up. I found a stock muffler on ebay, but they only one and they are asking too much. I have a silencer left over from my yz250f and I might be able to fab something up, but if I could find a used slip on that would be the way I would go.

 

When I had my lt230 there was a thread all about the lt230s. I looked on here for one like that for the warrior, but have not found it. Is there one?
