2015 T3 production changes

Devilmanak · Jul 15, 2014

So who else has seen the paperwork from BRP stating that they took some of the T3-specific features that was paid for away from us? (Extra holes in track and the lightweight muffler that they bragged so much about.) Local dealer isn't happy, he knows he is going to get a lot of complaints from customers. I will scan and post if people haven't seen it.

Doing it now. Will also post the 800XRS page, THAT would make me mad if I paid extra for e-start! 5 minutes.

I was just getting excited , now not so much. Wonder what else they are going to do to us. Will there be a HP differance ?

Cracker · Jul 15, 2014

plus more rotating weight !!

Sucks, but if you get your sleds on time, guess the 3 inch will still be sweet.

If Ski-doo had a spine they'd offer a big enough rebate to buy the Diamond TI quite can.

Hmm...Still a fun sled to ride regardless. Question really is how did you get that info? Seems like only a dealer would get that. As for the T-3 163 which I have coming I wouldn't care if they put an exhaust of a Chevy Tahoe because its gone the day it arrives.

You can always ask for your money back.

I was kinda thinking that BRP needs to do SOMETHING for us. I haven't seen a consumer letter yet, so who knows. I could see them kicking out a gallon of oil or something, but this is a "Polaris sized" booboo as far as I am concerned. I think the more we complain, the better chances of some compensation.
I doubt there is a HP difference, but I REALLY liked the way the T3 sounded and ran compared to my 2014 sleds. Crisper than my 14's, which were crisper than my 2013s.
Honestly, my dealer takes very good care of me, I would have ordered one either way, but I can really see the guys in like, Canada where they pay a lot more for them being cheeved off. I also know a die hard Polaris guy who checked one, based on the demo ride, but he was on the edge for a long time. Would this have kept him from buying one? Possibly.
It is really the point of it, you don't sell someone a double cheeseburger, give them a single, and then tell them it is just as good.

Yep. I could see that being BRP's offer.

The stock can on the 15 sounds exactly the same as the 14. Difference is weight. Still the best sled on the market. So who cares. I don't know anyone that keeps the stock exhaust.

It's an awesome sled for sure.
I was told I could post it. Dealers aren't too happy to have to deal with this, like I said, dealers are going to have do deal with customers who may be irked.
For you and more than likely a lot of us, it really isn't a huge deal. However, I personally HATE cans, I won't even ride with guys who run them. For me, it is a safety thing, when there are a bunch of guys riding together I can tell where everyone is based on sound. Then when one guy has a can, it sounds like I am about to get run over when he lifts the front up. Happened a lot of times last year, it is just irritating to me. Personal preference.

Jermbob · Jul 15, 2014

Totally agree, loud is bad but there are a lot of weight saving CANS that are quite. Just seems like small potatoes to me.

No biggy. That was an ugly muffler anyway.
Still lighter than advertised and minimal holes in the track is a plus IMO. You can always add more holes but if its overdone you are stuck with a cheese grater like the 08 track. Even with a few lbs knocked off the muffler it was still a solid 10 lbs heavier than the aftermarket stuff most guys opt for anyway. Remember its the govt, not BRP that mandates the sound levels and I doubt BRP is happy about it either.

Actually they don't. I spent two days on the T3 last year, back to back with my 2014 sleds. There isn't a huge sound difference, but there is one.

Jermbob · Jul 15, 2014

Crisper than my 14's, which were crisper than my 2013s.

Spent a lot of time on both as well, sound was the same to me between the 13'-14's.

Maybe by the tine we got it the packing was blown out.

But I've been in Construction so I'm slightly deaf
