Wow, sounds like you know a lot about this subject. Did you spend time working for one of these companies spending countless hours testing their products ensuring that they won’t lose horsepower? Or are you possibly an engineer with a background in flow testing and acoustic dynamics? I’m not sure how you ever could have been because it seems you are able to improve the clutching and suspension that every manufacturer uses today. Judging by your posts you must ride every day for 6 months a year to be that much more skilled at mountain riding than everyone else, it must be tough to be the smartest and the most naturally athletic rider on the hill every day.

Point is, who gives a flying fk what can a guy is running, I personally don’t like loud cans but if I come across somebody that has one, I leave, typically that’s kinda the point, ride where other people aren’t. To say that they don’t know how to ride because they run a loud can is the reason people are leaving this sh&$hole site every day, because all you old a$$holes are better and smarter than everyone else. I’d love to see you and your yamatoilet attempt to keep up to what these young guys are doing on the hill let alone follow them in the trees. For a guy that served you seem to have forgotten how to respect others.

X2. Condescending with a side of superior moral compass... mmmmm sounds yummy but I will pass and burn something in my Thing Cooker

I have a riding friend that has the same issue with his G4 with a tunnel dump. He never realized how bad it was till one day we traded. Its not just horribly loud but sounds more like a poormans home made pipe...nothing nice about it other then he has to ride at the back.
The good thing is, he can't hide anywhere. Funny thing is, its a new G4 that sounds more like a trashed out junkyard wrecker with no exhaust, why would anyone want that on their sled.

I guess some people have this illusion of relating noise with power...hahahaha...small minds
I think danos g4 sounds great and nothing else sounds like his sled

My buddy Tyler side piped his t3174 with a ggb can, now that's fawking loud

He brings ear plugs for all of us

Dont get your feathers ruffled.
Well experience does count for something, and yes he is right on everything he said, and has been actually saying it for years.

Here are the negatives to aftermarket cans that I have personally noticed and took the time to figure out.
Increased underhood temps which affects alot more than everyone thinks. No that fancy looking ceramic coating is too thin to actually do any good.
Screws up the balance of the sled and ski pressures.
90% of cans will actually make a sled loose HP, but if yah never run the stock can first, how do yah know?
the sound of the can, even tho while riding the sled it does not sound loud to the rider, alot of cans are actually very loud.
Last is the cost! These cans are getting crazy in pricing, till these are actually engineered like the stock exhaust and proven reliable, I’ll pass.

The only positive I see to running a can is the extra space it frees up around the chaincase, thats it.
Love my thing

It cooks mmmmm, and yes only way to check the chain case, without removing the stupid stock can b. S

I put a Bikeman muffler and i say muffler because its not a small can like most out there its more of a compact muffler about 8-10lbs lighter then the oem muff.
At an idle to about 1/4 throttle it sound basically stock, then it starts to have a small rap in the mid. 2/3-3/4 and up it sings a sweet sound.
The oem was 18-20lbs, the Bikeman is about 8-10lbs so its not a small 4-6lb can but its a very nice compromise.

BTW this is on my 17 Cat.

Neil from NPP in Edmonton makes a quiet can with close to stock DB levels and dyno tested, he makes a 4” 3” and the cone style without the baffle in it.

I think this thread was probably titled wrong to start! Cans are not straight pipes! I recently bought a "Race can" I only did so because it was cheap and already wrapped but turns out that its not nearly as loud as I thought it would be.I dont really care for extremely loud exhaust but if you ride with respect for others than do what you want!! Pretty sure youre not gonna create any closures.No one can claim that they wouldnt want to lose 12lbs
