pipes hitting

They are SLP factory racing pipes. Everything is factory mod. Straps, spacers, hoop, and post. The engine does sit up, but I have analized every situation with the height of the engine. The pipe is down against the hoop and the hood is sitting "right on" the pipe.

Something that I have noticed with these, (mine got me thinking about it) is that every set of twins seems to be different with whatever setup. I have the SLP race twins with Brads plate and mod hoop, stock post and mine just clear the hood. Others are able to run the underhood air plenum with stock airbox etc. and others are not. My pipes look to fit a lot different then yours and the only thing different between our sleds is you used the Race Dept. motor straps etc.

I want to run the stock air box setup so I am moving the post on my hoop over to get the pipes in lower and then fitting them in as tight as possible to get as much hood clearance as possible. I will have to do some plastic work on the underhood air plenum, but things should work out. i will post some pictures when it is all done.

I have brads spacers on factory straps

I am trying to run everything Factory Polaris ran. I don't want a head light or anything stock so that is fine with me running this tight. I moved a few things and cut out for hood screens to give enought clearance. I am interested in seeing your pics.. I did not cut any material from my bulk head and I know Brads plate requires this to fit. I have a big block 800 too. Most people are running small blocks or small block 800's.

Yeah I did have to clearance the bulk head, but after doing that and welding it all up things fit well. I am running a 910 so I need as much air as possible with consistant air temps. I should have the pipes done next week and I will post the pictures on this thread when it's all done. Take care....mike

I know this isn't a LOT of help. But Mt. Fit hoods does make an IQR hood that is taller for these types of situations. More $ I know, but could be easy.

Thanks for your pics and help. Throw a few pics of that 910 up when those pipes are done. Cool stuff

i found even with the factory 600 pipes they even hit the hood. I think the factory stuff sits a little higher then others.
