Tree vs. bumper, hood, pipe - whats best fix ?

[globalwarmer]

Seems like every time I'm away for a week or two, someone's moving trees to different spots on the hill ( just downhill trees ), anyhow, whats the best pipe to replace my dented stock pipe ? Already have an aftermarket can. Or is stock pipe the way to go ? Is warranty still valid with modifications ? Also need bumper, possibly a hood, and other front end parts. Won't know all parts needed until we winch the sled out of canyon it continued down into. I'm pretty sure that canyon wasn't there last winter. I'm gonna have to talk to United Rentals about renting equipment to bozos who don't know where to dig. 2007 800 summit 151

Seems like we are riding in the same areas......except I always blamed it on evolution, trees growing legs and what not, they just pop outta nowhere, Last year first week with the new sled hit a tree......last weekend.....same thing...... so I guess that makes me an expert right? or is it a lousy rider?? I'll stick with unlucky, Anywho as long as you hit the tree dead centre your not in too much trouble unless you bent your motor mounts, but the bumper and hood are about $150 each as well as most other parts in that front end, I went for a dyno port pipe and have been quite happy so far. The new bumper I'm hoping works better than the last two at deflecting the trees rather than attracting them. As for warranty I've never had a pipe be a problem so I think your ok there, generally intake and exhaust is fine for any motor without voiding warranty.
