you have to turn in your core? Do they modify your stock pipe? Any one gave pics of the Carl’s pipe?
Oh, found a couple installed pics, it’s pretty.
That’s my pictures and sled. I mailed them my core and the new carls pipe showed up. Pretty easy swap.
How much clutch weight did you add after the install of your slp head?
Probably could have added a gram but it just liked to sing and hold a little more rpm with less waver and heat soak so I let it be.
Talked to the “performance tech” at carls today about the 9R pipe mod. He said zero performance gain on a factory Polaris 9R. Only gain is on carls ported 900 motor and a 4lb weight loss from taking the cover off and the Cerakote coating.
Correct. Mines on a 850.

have you ridden with the carls pipe on your 850NA ? i wonder if you will be able to tell any difference
As long as it doesn't hurt the power. I would do it for sure. Just for the weight saving. I believe he said it was half the weight of stock.
Unless he has a Carl's built 900 there is no gain other than a 4 pound savings.
The big question is has the runabiltly of the pipe changed with the shields and insulation gone with the cerakote taking its place? Better, worse, indifferent?
I'm all about shaving weight anywhere I can. But not at the cost of possibly making things worse.
Definatly following this thread.

I’ve ridden many sleds with removed heat shields.
Nose dip in blower powder and it bogs due to loss of pipe heat.
Cerakote is going to help but probably a good idea to run frogskinz on the vents.

I haven’t. Just installed and talked to carls. I’m guess a little more on top end but nothing crazy. Stinger has been cut and welded. Seems a little longer. I don’t believe carls will sell/make something that’s going to hurt performance
So since the carls 9R pipe adds zero power to a stock 9R and I do want the weight saves on my light weight 9R build. I pulled the cover off my 9R pipe today and sent it to get cerokote coated (same as carls does). Much cheaper than carls and the shipping that it’ll take. $180 to get costed vs over $400 to get carls with shipping and tax. The cam shell weighs alittle over 3lbs, so that’s that is weight savings, which is what the guy at carls told me.
Back from getting the stock 9R pipe cerakoted. Almost 4lbs off.
Same weight loss as my carls pipe

Could you do this with the 850 pipe?
