That is super reasonable.
2018 Mountain Cat... New tank, new seat?

That is super reasonable.
Few dollars worth of switches, wire, and connecters... seems steep to me?
Those seats do look pretty nice. How much lower do they sit?
I thought more like a Carp, but I can see the catfish resemblance. No matter what they do they cant hide that, although they try with the marketing pictures they post!

Little more to it than that
I see two switches and two buttons?
Edit: Ahhhh the throttle block. Forgot the killswitch is attached. That makes sense.

No, you came into the Cat forum bashing , I did not go into the Doo or Poo forum bashing, and I provided feedback about the WRP seat, I had 3 seats replaced in one season, just a fact, sorry if dont like criticism
Me whining about how a seat looks and what I can do to change that hardly qualifies as bashing. But congrats on getting through an entire post without talking about something looking like a catfish.

Does this kit have factory style plugs, basically plug and play?
Yes. Completely plug and play, aluminum throttle block, etc. I put my hand up for one. They are in production stage now I believe.
WRP says they are 17" from the floorboard. Not sure just how much lower, but judging from this pic you can see they definitely are...

are you going to boost your new cat? if so what turbo? I sold my boosted cat, and went with a Trygstad 872,T3-174. it's fun to ride and started on the 1st pull all winter long, even when it was 5 below zero, My boosted cat always took 3-5 pulls.

Keep us updated on how that works out for you. My plan for now is to just run this sled fairly stock with a few tweaks. My riding crew has a habit of trying to find the ugliest, nastiest creek bottom available and laugh hysterically at whoever wrecks their sled. I've been riding turbos for the last 10 years, just time for a break. I've found that no matter how great your turbo is running it always takes more effort to ride it in situations like we're in. It's easier to grab a handful of stock power and be able to control where the sled is going than trying to feather the turbo into the right track speed for the occasion. Or better yet, it's easier on the sled to bash into a tree at stock speed than mach chicken turbo speed... as for the creek that looks a little too deep to get back out of with stock power, I think I've got a solution for that. More to come.

You gonna do the Nnnaaahhss. In my best Fast and Furious voice. Ha
Nice to see a totally honest post about HP.
Don't get me wrong, when the snow is fresh and it's 3' deep I'm going to really miss that horsepower. And it's a hell of a lot of fun to pull a steep slope with ease too. But for what and how we ride 90% of the time now, a well tuned stocker with a 50 hp shot of nitrous when things get really tough sounds about right to me. Time will tell.
