We are offering 3 options for lightweight silencers on the 850 Polaris this year and all of them are available immediately:
Standard Lightweight Silencer - Saves 7.7 pounds and has the same SLP exhaust note you have known for years.
PicnicR Lightweight Silencer - Saves 7.1 pounds. Is the same body as above, but also uses a bracket for direct install of a muffpot or WPS trail chef.
Competition Series Ultra-Lite Silencer - Saves 9.3 pounds and has a more aggressive exhaust sound at full throttle.
The main reason to using one of these silencers with the stock pipe is for weight savings, but they also show a small power improvement. We have tested them on the dyno and the snow. They and are a little faster in the field compared to the stock silencer. For the real power gains the single pipe or twin pipes will be the way to go. Each silencer is available in black satin ceramic or silver polish ceramic coating.
Our intention is to make all of these silencers compatible with the SLP Single Pipe. If possible we will make it compatible, but as single pipe is still under development, we can't guarantee it will be at this point. They will not fit with the twin pipes, as the twin pipes will use individual glass-pack style silencers.
I have attached some pictures to give you an idea of what they each look like.
