Kanedog 2015-2019, thanks for the good times S&M!

I haven’t seen or heard much of Cat Speedwerx stuff in the mountains. The only stuff I have seen is info from Speedwerx themselves. Anyone have any experience or info? Feel free to share your experience.

Use to go solely with speedwerx when I was buying all my sleds through Echo, I think the supercharger is a wicked idea but I had nothing but problems, couldn’t ever get it to work and run for any length of time, super finicky. I think you need to be sponsored or the guy that can tune or adjust all day to make it work. A turbo is so much easier.

I’ve used their h5 alloy clutch springs, which are a quality product. The reflash they offered for the 1100T worked ok from what I’ve seen. The pipes from 08-11 were really thin and cracked a lot, but made decent power. Never had much use for their stuff otherwise...

Ran their 925 kit on my 13 with amazing results. worked at echo and didn't have any warranty issues other then their junk handlebar kits. cans ran great pipes and clutch kits seem to give expected gains.

I’ve ran speedwerx full exhaust with some tweaked mapping and speedwerx clutching (helix, h5 springs and weights) on my 14HCR and it was an amazing sled, wasn’t a sled in my groups of riding buddies who could touch it until the 850’s came out anyway, would recommend their products for sure, good support from the company as well, answered any questions I had quite quickly by email and even by phone, only downside is it’s pricy with our $hit dollar exchange

I personally don’t have any experience with Speedwerx but a couple buddies are running there Superchargers on alphas and they worked really well with no issues all season. Installs are fairly simple if have a little mechanical abilities. I’m not a cat guy but would consider Speedwerx if I was.

No it has not... the Speedwerx Y pipe had weld issues so apparently waiting on new one.

I seen up to a 26hp gain on his dyno sheet I was looking at on his FB page with head and pipe but I believe that was on a 850 doo seemed like he was getting more than expected on that particular machine.
