gorgeous sled iamvector!! But, looking over the sled and then you come to the pic with the exhaust and it just sticks out like a sore thumb. dont' know if you could trim it down a little bit flush with the platics?? Looks great though.

When I saw the side pipe I thought it was a joke??? Sled looks great but what is the advantage of this great lookin side pipe??:eek:
You wouldn't understand until you rode something with big power. If you don't think a tunnel dump pipe is restrictive then your kidding yourself. he was thinking of accenting the good looking sidepipe by mounting his shovel in the middle of his tunnel and then sticking his air intake 2 ft in the air. lol:eek:;)

Sled looks great the side pipe ??? I understand the mechanics behind a dump pipe we use the in cars all the time realy helps with throttle response and power but I dont think I could deal with the noise.

Your neighbors gota love you:beer;

Nice job :D

ha ha thanks guys iam shocked at how big a diff the side pipe made, iam going to run it that way for this year & see how i like it so far i dont find it that loud .its not quiet by any means but nothing like a apex strait pipe or even allot of piped 2strokes i didnt need ear plugs for short rides for all day you would.it has a really deep rumble not that ear piercing scream like a turbo 2 stroke i will gets some vids, its definitely not for everybody but i wanted to get all the power this sled makes why waste the power by dumping it in the snow. it is not as loud as some of the mcx rx1s or apexs i have rode with they basically do the same thing just hidden better.:beer;:D

Exhaust tip

Love the sled, heres a idea for you maybe. I would cut the exhaust pipe off almost at the turbo, then weld on a chrome tip, you can buy them cheap at places like canadian tire. I did this on an apex i had, looked sweet. IMO only. The sled is sick! nice work.

My favorite thing about the straight side dump is passing someone on that side when racing. Not only will you beat them but you can make their ears ring for a half hour. If you are going to race someone you don't like make sure you set them up on your left side...

Looks great Vector, the side pipe looks good in the finished pics but at first I thought it would need a muff pot to finish it off.

All this talk about how loud the exhaust is!!!! I had the chance to ride Val Simmons Propane TNytro with the exhaust out the right side recently. Very similar to this sled. Val put it there to decrease the tunnel dump restriction. Yep, he said it makes a BIG difference. It is much quieter than a TM8 with a side exit muffler. I don't think people realize how much a turbo takes the "bark" out of the exhaust note on a 4 stroke.

Anyway, not bashing. Just my 02.

Also, GREAT looking build. I bet she's a fun ride.

The propane nytro has packing in the exhaust. Friend of mine took it out and said its way loud now and has to were ear plugs (I ride with him and its way louder now). He's thinking of trying to put a tunnel dump on it because he has his pants all burned up also.
