looks that way from the outside.

i liked the cat, it just needed some proper engineering under the hood and some boost.

I like the cat too. can't get parts for them, they have some major issues and textRon seems like they've thrown In the towel.

How about the fact that the factory Doo turbo pushes ZERO BOOST PRESSURE - if you were to put a gauge on it - u would see zero psi - absolute manifold pressure is 14.7psi at all times - quite a few people need to wrap their head around that one


thats genious IMO. The only head wrapping fact is that it flat out works. Doesnt really matter how BRP engineering arrived at the 40hp boost for most. why do you need boost pressure on components? sounds perfectly engineered.

Decks on half tons ;)

Gonna put 2 sleds on my deck this weekend, everyone else better stay off the highways! Wave if you're brave enough to be out there anyway and see us.

Unless you put the flash on it. There that should stir up the flashers vs non flashers again lol

I hope cats not done. We need more choices not less. After spitting $5000 in belts in one season on my 850’s I ran out to buy a cat for help. 2 seasons now I haven’t had to worry about blowing a belt during a side hill. I still miss my doo for certain things. But the cost to ride a cat has been nice. Very little oil. No belts. No issues other than a cracked primary and brake rotor nuts falling off. I’m back on doo for 2021 season and hoping for the best.
Ive also been lucky that I ride with the best cat clutching guy. My alpha rips. Some mods under the hood and she will scratch and claw the highmark every time. But. I rode a t850 and that changed everything. Boom. Snowcheck time for me and couple doo’s are coming in the fall.

I don't want Cat to faIL, choices are good.

maybe they'll get their act together, but I bet they don't have a great snow check season, and you can't buy them in season.....
