I am not going to get in a P...... contest with you since you have a right to your opinion. If you think that as sledders we are entitled to the mountains regardless of any one else being able to do anything about it carry on, like I said its your money spend it as you wish.
Best Can for 850

I'm just curious why you don't think weight savings isn't a good enough excuse? I'm with you on the opinion of the loud ones. I really wish people didn't run obnoxious cans and they banned snowbikes permanently :face-icon-small-hap but weight savings is as good as reason as any to ditch the heavy stock one. I run the Diamond S and they aren't any louder than a stock one from what I can't tell....
I plan on getting the Diamond S myself. 10lbs of weight savings doesn't get any easier and I have not heard anything bad about this can.

Cause most people dont run the stock can on their sleds, and make a comparison to see what the negative effect lightweight can has on their sled.

pretty hard to run a cooker with a stock can.

faster but a bit on the loud side for me

Oh. I was looking at the wrong one.
9 pounds for 400.00

I agree that reducing weight on a sled is a good thing unless it impacts durability or adds noise. If the Diamond S can was available in Canada for a competitive price I might be willing to try it since it doesn't use packing for noise attenuation and should retain its sound level indefinitely unlike the cans that use packing and get louder every time out.

Anyone know how HPS cans are made?
Do they use baffles for the decibels or fiberglass packing?

Looked at HPS for 850 at the dealer today, it had packing.

If you are riding where hikers or skiers or snow shoe folk are sell yore sled and go gather acorns for squirrels.
The noise crusaders crack me up. When I leave the trail head I occasionally pass a couple hikers and pass at a slow speed, no can is loud at 5 mph. After that it is rare for us to see another snowmobile the entire day.
Coming from the powerboat world where I can actually see it being an issue this can stuff is funny.
Turn it up and get real butthurt noise forum police!

I ride with ppl that get lost all the time. It makes it much easier to track them down when I can hear them.

I agree I have found people because of that sound. The best are the BCA radios...get everyone to get one.

Lmao. I think there is a lot of respect for heat tape on things.
