I have an 08' m1000 that is stock. I just installed an aftermarket muffler. It starts and idles fine but loads up in the midrange and bogs out. If you blip the throttle 5-10 times it will clear up for a bit and then do it again. The muffler is speedwerx can. With an infrared temp gauage the y-pipe only reads 500-600f. I believe it should be around 800. I was told that its a bolt on item.
M1000 doesn't run well with aftermarket muffler

I have a BMP (bikeman) Powder Lite on my 07' and I dont have that problem, Also have heard that D&D doesn't cause that either. I have been hearing of some problems just recently with speedwerx cans.
Have a couple friends with jaws cans on there m1000's with no issues
get the 09 flash, should help lean out the midrange, my sled also had a problem when i put on the mbrp can,
I had a BMP powderlite and it did the same thing. I returned it and was told to try a speedwerx can. It did the same thing.
The sled has all the updates including the reflash. I even tried a different ECU. I work at a shop and we messed around with it for 2 hours and have come to no conclusions. It runs fine with the stock muffler. Very frustrating
I thought a read somewhere about adjusting the fuel pressure on the m1000's, maybe that might help?
Arctic cat is more interested in surviving as a company and not worried about bunch second graders making noise with their aftermarket cans. Arctic cat makes a tuned exhaust not a tuned pipe.
Well excuse me! This ain't my first rodeo. However it is my first Cat and I've been less than impressed with it. The reason I got a can was because we ride alot of trees and the guys I ride with were complaining they couldn't hear me to know where I was.
I have a 08 m1000 stock and i tried a slp can and i had bog so i put the factory back on and it runs great! I'm still doing reserch to try find a good one!
There isn't enough back pressure and the pipe can't keep enough heat in if the exaust is too free flowing. I had the same problem with my 09 m1000. I put on a mbrp can and it would fall on its face in the mid range. If you could get it past the stutter it would pull hard again but most times it wouldn't clean out.
my 08 hated the SPwerx can....bog in the bottom, not enuff back-pressure imo....horrible fit....ditched it. Running a snowskinz q-can now. Luv it. very consistant., imo.
I'd just like to get that heavy SOB off the frontend of mine. Dont want a control box, untill i hear of the perfect can, i will leave it alone. Not to excited about the extra noise.
speedwerx can
I have a speedwerx can on my 2009 m1000. It is the one that dumps out the shock tower, and it works great. I rode it to out in Revelstoke and could not me more happy with how the sled preformed. I also had this sled on an 2007 m1000, and it did not seem to hurt the preformance of that sled either. My 2009 has great power for a stock sled.
