Would you be more likely to buy a 2.5 lb can that was loud our would you buy one that was a lb heavier if it was almost as quite as stock?

I voted for quite one but not sure. I have one coming to put on my 940 to test. Not sure I will like it mainly for testing purposes. I like the brap brappp.

Loud sucks!
Quiet One
I chose the quiet one. Just not into the loud thing any more.:face-icon-small-hap

I put a HPS Can on my 14 ltd. It is just a little too loud for me . But I like the weight,the fit and the finish. Nice piece
It has the BRAPPP for sure. Like 17 lbs. weight savings. That is huge.

Keep the noise down to a reasonable level (close to stock), don't lose horsepower, and lose 13 to 15 pounds and I buy it!!!:face-icon-small-coo
I went from the "quiet" Bikeman can to a HPS and I think the HPS is about perfect. Definitely quieter than the Bikeman can and quite a bit smaller as well. Surprised me the fist time I rode it. Nothing like the crack of the Zuk 800 when the power valves crack open:rockon:
Quite and 1 lbs heavier FOR SURE. After 20 years of riding loud sleds, I can really appreciate the quieter cans. 1 lb isn't going to make or break it for me, but the decibel level will for sure. That is one thing I really enjoy about both the XM and especially a totally stock pro. The stock can is light and quiet.

Please be a responsible member of the snowmobile industry and DONT offer a loud can.
Loud cans shut down riding areas and just create more snowmobile haters.
Loud cans just scream ignorance and are the preferred can of parking lot poseurs, "LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!"

Gotta go with the rest of them, quiet is sooo nice. Hate my bikeman can because of the noise.
Not 100% true.
In the places where there are not a bunch of granola crunchers and tree huger it ok. But you are right in Ca and CO and any other place I don't ride yes we should not sell loud can. :face-icon-small-coo

I bought the SW can one of the heaviest aftermarket cans/mufflers but its a 12lb weight savings and it does not sound like a MBRP.

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.
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?
I like the way my stock '14 m8000 sounds, but would like to lose the suitcase. If there was I lite weight can with similar sound to stock I'd be interested.
