light weight can.

mmsports · Mar 6, 2014

for the most part you are right.

I agree with you for the most part. I am not talking about island park when I say some of our places are ok with it. If you ever get in our area I can show you what I mean. Like our parking lots are 1 to 2 miles from homes and we really don't have anyone but snowmobiles where we ride. With being said you do need to do what's right and make a high performance can that has low noise.

Thanks for all your input.

Oh man. I'm sorry to call you out on your comment.....

BUT THIS IS EXACTLY WHY THE GREENIES AND GRANOLA CRUNCHERS ARE WINNING.

I love riding Idaho but you guys aren't safe there either. NOBODY snowmobiles in a bubble anymore. The enviro nazi's are EVERYWHERE.

Do you even realize that the greenies are trying to turn Island Park into a National Monument? (Meaning no or very restricted motorized access?)

Loud pipes are just plain retarded. There, I said it.

If you think I'm a pu$$y for saying that-- so be it. Just know that I spent five years working in Motogp (motorcycle Roadracing World Championship) where the sound "limit" was 130 dB. I've worked in motorcycle roadracing for over 20 years.

There is no place for loud pipes anymore-- this is not the 1970's. How many riding areas have we lost in the last 10 years?

Can we really afford to lose anymore?

It's funny you refer to me as a parking lot poser, (not directly, but I like loud). I don't run loud just to be loud, but if louder performs better, I run it. That being said, it is very rare for me to unload in a parking lot.
I call it crowded if another vehicle shows up that day. Most days it takes chains and shoveling to get there and back.

Point being, responsibility to an urban setting with large crowds isn't always the same as those of us who have the ability and desire to run the road less traveled.

Noise just vibrates the brain enough to make you think you have more power. Most those can flow too much for high elevation riding. Lots of places the noise doesn't really bother anything but sooner or later you will be in a setting that someone will get tick off about the noise and add one more voice for the "green" side of things.

i like a quiet can but i take one that cooks food over one that doesnt

slyrydr · Mar 6, 2014

i was out riding with my son a couple of weeks ago, we stopped with a couple of other guys at the bottom of a good climbing hill...within a few minutes we could hear some "performance" sleds coming our way, and i instantly knew it was my buddies sled, 'cause he rides with the throttle pinned more than anyone else i know , including kevin

face-icon-small-hap), and mainly because his can is just so dang loud...sure we ride in "remote" areas, but we still have to pass near some winter cabins to get there, and there are lots of people that sled that don't share the tolerance to "loud"
that we think they do, me included, and i ride a bdx with a cutlers can, so i know i'm making a little more noise than stock, but i think there's a line where tolerance crosses into obnoxious..:face-icon-small-sho

wasatchcomm · Mar 6, 2014

i want the lightest and closest to stock sound as possible.

not a fan of the loud cans.

Bigshow1 · Mar 6, 2014

I like light for sure, and I can live with a bit louder than stock but it depends on the tone as well...
I am in the same boat as others about responsible noise levels to preserve land avaiability in the future to enjoy the sport!
And I guess I find loud annoying - wasnt always this way. I used to much prefer the stingers on my triple pipes vs the quieter muffler...
I am sorry, what was that??? I can hear as good as I used to from being around too much loud rock music, noisy powersports, and heavy equipment!:face-icon-small-hap

M8onEdge · Mar 8, 2014

My vote would be a can with a bit more weight and reasonable sound. I purchased an HPS can and it's probably 20% louder than I would like but has a very nice deep tone so is tolerable. My nephew rides with us at times, in Idaho btw, with a Jaws can. It's ridiculously loud. We ride an area with no cabins and rarely another human but there are some tree squirrels up there with damaged hearing from his escapades on a pinned M8!....a bit much and I agree with not giving the tree huggers easy rocks to throw.

Dam Dave · Mar 8, 2014

Loud does not usually equate to more power, I know of only one can that performs better than a stock Cat suitcase, so your argument that loud us fast is just wrong.

catothom · Mar 8, 2014

Should be able to get both of two worlds! A lightweight can and a sound little over stock.
A sound that gives a little punch, but does not make the neighbors go crazy every time you start up the sled

Stock can is around 21 lbs or so, and I would like to have a can that drops at least 10-12 lbs, but still have the deeper sound.
I don`t want to shave a lot of weight just for the weight. Then I can live with a few lbs more and have a can that still can be used without being thrown sticks and stones after because it`s to loud

CHAOS RACING · Mar 8, 2014

I have an HPS as well, its a click to loud. Who makes the quietest can for the weight savings without loosing power? And yes Id choose a 3-12 lb can I just hate the thought of a 21 lb muffler

mmsports · Mar 8, 2014

can should be in for testing this week.

I will post some videos and results. If everything test ok should be available to order after testing complete.

1rarel78 · Mar 8, 2014

MPX. Awesome deep quiet tone until you open her up. 6lbs. 2hp gain. Everyone is overlooking these cans. Repackable also.

mmsports · Mar 8, 2014

Yes but we are talking half that weight and 5 hp gain.

A 6lb can is ok but three that sounds stock.

1rarel78 · Mar 9, 2014

Is that possible? If it is,I'm all in unless it costs 450.00.

summ8rmk · Mar 9, 2014

Me too!
Can and belt drive =30lbs off one side of the sled. That will Put the snopro 153 at 435 lbs.
Thats the same as an RMK!

Titanium stuff isnt cheap to buy!

Beckwith24 · Mar 10, 2014

I just went for my first ride with my Diamond S can on my 13....

Pros: Very well built. Very light. Great throttle response and power. 0 bog.

Cons: Louder than expected. Not a deep mellow tone like HPS. $495

So how would you describe the exhaust tone?

bradburck · Mar 11, 2014

So... Kevin you are actively working on this process? With a light weight can with close to stock sound levels? Be awesome if we can keep the price around 300$ as well!

light weight can.

which can would you buy?

2.5 lb can noisy

3.5 lb can like stock
