been looking for awhile to find a single pipe for my 05 King Cat.Carb

Had a member on here contact me, and has a SpeedWerx Pipe,Y-Pipe and modified front dump can set up.

But it came off an 03 900 Carb...

what is the differnce, i know you look at every ones site and they list for an 03 900.. and then for a 04-06 900 motors..

will it fit or a no go?

Should be good, there is not that much difference from 03 to 06.

I believe the 03-05 is the same. 06 the outlet came out forward by the a arm instead of out the bottom

The way the pipe mounts is different. the 04 and up is spring mount and the 03 and older is bolted. Hard to explain but they mount completely different.

I have a 03 and there are no bolts on the pipe/can! Its all sprigs, the only thing that bolts are the L bracket that goes on the chains case, The L bracket takes a bushing very easy to fab if needed!

03 Exhaust straight down exit
04/05(?) Exhaust straight down with a cover over the bottom to help prevent bog from powder
06 Exhaust front dump

I have installed all 06 parts on a 03 and used the newer exhaust, no problem no mods

For a single pipe your right. I was thinking about my slp twins I had a set for an 03 and a set of 04 and newer. The mounting points are different.

Early 03' and late 03's were different mounts. Remember it was a half year model causing a lot of confusion. Mounting points are no big deal to modify.

Later '03 had a bracket under the pipe with a coiled spring that wrapped around the expansion chamber. The 04 -06 had a rubber piece that the expansion chamber shield rested against with a spring attached to the inner front bend holding it down. I put a '05 pipe on my '03.5 with the rubber mount modified by grinding down. Also the outlet flange mounted at a different angle to the muffler which is why I sanded down the rubber mount to make the angles line up much better. Actually the Bikeman mod to a '03 pipe really works good! When bolted on engine turned 8000+ rpm., then with 4 grams grams more weight holds 76-7700rpm. and is an absolute overly responsive torque monster! No wonder why guy's want to put these in later model Cat sleds. I bet one of these in a Polaris Pro would be a handful! Mike

I just picked up the black spdwrx can to match my spdwrx single pipe, replacing the burnt out FMF Dirtbike can that had been modified there. Not sure if I even got the right damn can by the looks of it... or if my sleds been jacked up by the po.

anyway... you sure you got the right price there? $250 for the black, $350 or so for the ceramic coated, at least... when I bought the other day off their site.

good luck, be careful what you get. I think I'm going to have a bit of fab in my near future.

I cant speak for aftermarket pipes but i know 100% that the stock pipes for a carb and a EFI are different. I owned both sleds at the same time, and they are different. The EFI pipe has a much bigger outlet.
