Was wondering if anyone out there has a super q can on an m1000, and was wondering if anyone has had trouble with it causing a bog or any other performance issue
Skinz super q silencer
- Thread starter ndm1000
- Start date
I've run them on stock, mild mod, and full mod 1000's, 07-09.
Never had any kind of bog from them, and we've tested them side by side on each sled.
I've heard of sea level guys saying that they caused a bog down there though... not sure if that's for real or not.

I put a lot of miles on my bone stock M1000 with just a Super Q and never had a bog. Only bog was when the intakes were covered up.

I have the super q on my 11 m8 ltd. I rode with it all last season with no bog at all. I ride between 8000 -12000'. Only issue was that I had to make up a gasket to seal around where the exhaust exits the sled.

super q
I think I've noticed a little low end bog on my 08 xfire 6 from low level to 10000+ but haven't compared side to side with stock. Worth the weight savings though.

Never had an issue with mine on my 08 m1. Sounds great to.
Love mine
Developed a bog on my 10 m8 as the super q broke in, seemed to get very loud, maybe internally something happened. Skinz replaced under warranty, sold the new can and bought the ultra q, runs better on my sled.

skinz exhaust seal
Great idea! I am trying to figure out way to seal off to keep exhaust out of the engine compartment. Considered having a plate welded, your gasket solutions seems easier. What did you use and do you have a pic? (after hours of searching found some good ideas here http://www.snowestonline.com/forum/showthread.php?t=249924&highlight=skinz)
I have an ultra-q on my m8 and like it but had to trim the tip because it poked out into the open,but only an issue when pushing snow with my headlights. I run it on a stock sled, had a bdx intake but took it off and now it actually runs better and is much quieter.

Not to steal thread over super q can but I have a question related to same issue. My daughter rode a firecat f7 with a 151 and a aftermarket can and it had a stutter at wide open throttle from a dead stop. The other three firecats wich were all 2003 were stock and no stutter. Put stock muffler back on and no more problem. Now the question I just bought her a 2010 hcr with 500 miles, Clutching stock for 6-9k, power valve cables correct and plugs new. All stock other rhan can and at wide open throttle stutters real bad from a dead stop. Put stock muffler back on runs perfect. weight savings is the objective but no stutter is preferable.
I just used an RTV or exhaust silicone or something similar (not sure exactly). I used blue tape on the underside to create a 'template' of sorts. I then applied multiple layers of silicone to create a gasket. It worked fine all last season and looks as though it just needs a touch up to be ready to go for this season.
