Anybody using a HPS can and SLP pipe with their 800 Axys?

[sms]

I would like a little more aggressive sound than what the SLP can sounds like and was considering the HPS and SLP pipe combo. It sounds like guys have had great success with the Power from the SLP Pipe and can but was curious if anyone is running a HPS can with the SLP pipe.

Thanks for your comments.

X2. I'd like to know too.

X3 I'd also like to run this combo

A more "aggressive" sound? You mean louder?

The one thing the non-motorized contingent is always bringing up in USFS meetings is noise from sleds.

Having installed a bunch of SLP pipes and cans on customer Axys sleds, I can tell you they can have an aggressive sound-- it just requires opening the throttle and holding it open. Now, I realize that an HPS or GGB "Mountain" can might be more appealing to the parking lot throttle blipper crowd but you have to think of the ramifications for the rest of the snowmobile community that your loud can creates.

Loud cans help the non-motorized contingent shut down more riding areas. The non-riding public doesn't want to hear your loud can. A lot of the riding public doesn't want to hear your loud can. There is nothing more annoying than listening to a loud can on a left hand sidehill with the exhaust out in the air.

There is a time and a place for loud exhausts. I've worked in professional motorcycle roadracing for 20+ years both in the US and World Championships (AMA Superbike, MotoGP, WorldSBK, MotoAmerica) Leave the loud exhausts for sanctioned events on closed courses, NOT public land.

If you think I'm some left leaning enviro weanie, you probably have never been to a USFS meeting when they are proposing closed areas. I have been to those meetings, and I continue to go to all the meetings in the 5 USFS districts that immediately surround me.

"Quiet Recreation" is the new non-motorized battle cry.

Please don't buy a loud can, and if you must buy one, please don't come to the intermountain west to ride. We are struggling enough to keep our riding areas open. We don't need more loud cans giving motorized users a bad reputation.

Rant Over. (and here come the negative ratings)

Horse pucky, I rode with my hps can this weekend and it's no louder than slp's and only slightly louder than stock just has a better tone. So let's get back on track the question was about running a slp pipe and hps can. Enquiring minds want to know.

putting an HPS can on soon for my father - curious what clutching changes you made or did you leave the primary all stock? Riding elevation for us will be 5-7000'.

I put an SLP silencer can on a different 16' 800 AXYS and they recommended using their clutch kit for primary... MTX weights & spring - the sled rips pretty good.

I have a buddy that has been running a slp pipe with a ggb mountain can with 0 problems. I would think that you could run a hps can and slp pipe without a problem.

Believe what you want, my pro had a hps on it and it was far louder than my slp pipe

THIS!

I have ridden with both. I'll stick with the stock sounding SLP. Eric

The pro HPS can is wayyyy louder than the axys HPS can fwiw...

This post is not about how loud your can is, does HPS can work with SLP pipe.

I'd think sound levels is relevant to the discussion.
If I was in the market for a can to run, I'd like to know if it was an ear-splitter, or not.

In fact looking to try an HPS in place of the SSI I currently have, just to quiet mine down some. Be nice if a magazine, dyno operator etc did some sort of veal on these things, and sound levels were one of the tested parameters.

slp pipe, diamond s quiet can, no issues picked up about 300-350 rpm

Haven't done any changes yet, picked up a solid 200+ rpm I'm probably going to throw some 10-64's on it to get the r's down a bit. So far I'm liking the can not to noisy seems to have added some snap to the sled and just has a nice tone to it. Riding elevation 7000 to 11000.

I mated the slp pipe with a GGB mtn can and am having great success with this set up. Not an HPS but I'd confidently assume you would have similar results as me with my GGB.
