They do have a special can. My vote is it must have something to do with it.

Really Cool.
Wow these are cool, I saw that Empire Diesel M8 at the Jackson Hole Hill Climbs and it was cool. I do remember that the whole fresh charge blow out thing was debated to great length on this forum, and the general answer was that it could not be solved without valves in the head. It will be really cool, and they have some awsome vids at http://www.ripcharger.com/why.html and http://www.speedwerxstore.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1400

OUr kit comes with its own exhaust system, this is classified info at this time we wish not to share at this time as we know others are trying to produce kits as well and are having issues in this department. We had our unit on display all weekend at jackson.

we are currently working on the 2012 chassis and will be ready soon
I'm assuming that the custom steering draglink(?) that I saw on the sled at Jackson was titanium?
Yes, the kit will come with a custom drag link. It will be aluminum or steel, not finalized yet.
Does anyone know if they are going to be limited to M8's or are they developing kits for other sleds/motors? Like a M1000 motor for example. I have noticed that the ripcharger is also only for M8's (for cat anyways so far).
Considering the 1000 is no longer produced, I'd bet they won't bother making one for it... hope I'm wrong.
Right now the M8 is the primary focus just because of shear number of sleds sold. Extensive testing is going on right now. I don't think a 1000 kit is in the works, but if the demand warranted production it could happen.

The Speedwerx kit says stock sound levels...is this true? I was very close to buying a turbo kit but I decided it would be way to loud for riding in the Midwest. The ripcharger sled sounds pretty loud in the video?
BTW I would be willing to loan out my 141 M1200 to speedwerx to develop a 1000 kit as long as I get a sweet deal when I get it back! YEAH...SUPERCHARGED 1200!!!

the kit is stock sounding you can check it out on youtube. as far as the m1ooo kits go we have to see how much interest there is going to be before we decide to do a kit for the 1000s since the engine is no longer in production
Sounds like you're right but it never hurts to ask. I don't blame them but if it works and you have a M1000, sure would be a sweet set up!!
Would love to see the power curve on this thing compared to a pump gas turbo setup. Even though I'm a turbo guy over a SC guy on the streets, I can see myself wanting a SC on the mountain. The lag is what's keeping me from purchasing a turbo for my M8. Are there any SC M8's on the snow yet?
Yeah, I hate to say it but this reminds me of the new proclimb section. A whole lot of speculation and that's about it. The speedwerx website mentions pre-order, so I doubt there are any out there yet, but actual experience on one will sell more kits than the speculation of it will.
