New addition to the 800 Po-Po

Ordered up the Muzzy headers and dual exhaust system for the 800.  Heard a lot of good things about this system. Lifetime warranty and spark arrestor and quiet ride system comes with it. Good to go in the State Parks and within decibel requirements as well. 
Anybody running these by chance?

What other mods do you have?
I had PooPoo 250 when they came out, what difference a set of Super Swampers made, that thing was a bit under powered but it weighed nothing, it would float in the water, and go thru mud in low range like a crazy

So far just the 26" ITP's and set the suspension up higher. According to the Muzzy's guys, Polaris left a lot of fuel in their program, so chipping or mapping is not a worry. I am not impressed with the thin metal of the factory header Polaris uses. My pipe will glow red hot. I was tols that is normal, as Polaris is using thinner metal on their exhausts now. 
Getting a K&N filter for it today. Contemplating a clutch kit, but won't decide that until I ride it with these mods. She pulls and goes like a monster now! I don't want to mess with the clutch if I don't have to.

Chris, you will need a programmer of some kind to adjust the EFI with the pipe. It is not good to have a pipe that hot. You can damage the engine and possibly melt the plastic. Check it out before you go too far.

Thanks for the advice. I did a lot of research on these ahead of time, and was told that these are not "Hot" pipes, and due to the fact Polaris runs rich they should be OK. I will be checking plug colors to see if temps are not optimum. These are the pipes. They do not come close to the plastic. In '06, these came with dual exhaust, '07 didn't. The performance packs are about $250 and will be purchased if she seems to be running warmer...but from people I have talked to it shouldn't be necessary. There is no tuned expansion chamber like a snowmobile where you can melt them down due to leaning them out. (Speaking from experience.  )

Seems like you have it under control then. Hard to tell when I'm new here. Muzzy has the best pipes on the market, IMO. Wish they made a pipe for my XP.

Hey, welcome to the site by the way! Good to have you on board! We would like to see some more chatter in the ATV Forum here on IDO. What brings you in here?
The Muzzy's are somewhat new to me and I have been doing a lot of reasearch on them. I ride with guys who do not appreciate the noise of loud pipes on private land, so having the option to change the decibel level was important to me. I am looking forward to see what performance additions they offer. I am told that oversized tires can suck 5-10 HP from your wheeler, and if these pipes gain that back for me...COOL!

A bumper breaking isn't an issue. Now if the hondas would all play on the side lines instead of getting in the mud/snow/water like you and your po po because we're "afraid" of tossing a belt.... I could have saved a bunch of money and bought pedal bike... Wuss tar baby.

You have spent more time wrenching on your brakes and breaking things pulling people out of snow (Ooooh, FUN!)than riding! 
Yeah, call me what you want...I know my limitations and know what I think is fun. If I want to float a wheeler, I'd get a boat. Or I could just drive into a snow bank just to get pulled out.

You're thinking of z, I've never touched by brakes, besides cleaning the mud out of them. And I broke a bumper, big deal, I also bent the crap out of your po po front and back trying to yank your fat and that fat machine out of snow and mud, with that same bumper. Its getting fixed, for free!
You're right, buy an 800, soup it up brag about it, then sit on the side lines like a wuss. Or drive on the ice and do donuts.... woo hoo.
I hope for your sake you have cash with on the next ride, if not, you better bring a shovel and a AAA card if you get stuck or break down. Its going to cost you.
Your limitation is that you're a wuss.
you won't drive into a snow bank, someone else did with your wheeler and you cried about it.... And who pulled it out... oh yes, that was me!
differing opinions on what is fun i guess, maybe i'll understand your view in 15+ years....

Well, my atv is not a bulldozer and is not a submarine. I also paid for it, so I'll be a wuss if I want to. 
Someone being a "wuss" with their atv doesn't bother me as bad as the ones who ruin their atv and ruin the day for everyone else. Then can't afford to even get it fixed correctly. Not pointing fingers.....these are just my experiences.
I'll take the ridicule with a smile when my atv is still running perfect.

Boy..I guess he told me!
I'm with you Roofer. It's easy to sit and point fingers as to why you break stuff. Like I said...fine if that is your idea of fun. For me, smashing into a snowbank on the edge of a lake to see if I can get through it is not my idea of fun. But for you thrill seekers it must be close to the top of the list.
Have at 'er!
But don't sit and whine when we trail ride in Danbury and you have to eat dust for a day because you can't keep up. I'd rather do that than drown my wheeler or smash into snowbanks.
If you wanna put your money where your mouth is, come up to the Bruno with Deiman and I in May...or you could come up with an excuse about watching some weigh in somewhere.

Its a stupid bumper, give it up.
680 single vs 800 twin, even you can figure out I won't win that race.
While "we" thrill seekers are out having our fun, you can stay home, running up and down michael ave, since driving up and down a gravel road on a souped up 800 is your type of fun.
Why would I go up there, what type of "my" fun are we going to have, i don't have to leave town to put around... Or do you need me to drive....
And yes, I do want to watch the Tour weigh in!

It's really not a whole lot different than someone with a souped up truck driving to work on the highway or a really nice boat just to troll the small lakes around here.
At least the atv is offroad. With our rules and regulations, there isn't much we can really do.

With me it's what I see as fun. I use mine for hunting and fishing more than anything else. It's what I like to do. I like to tweak machines as well. Every snowmobile I owned was worked. How does that differ from chipping a diesel to get extra performance? 
I do it more for fun to see what else I can get out of them. Like I said..if mud and water are your thing..go play in it! I have no problem with that whatsoever. Now that I have a winch on mine I will feel more comfortable doing it so I don't need to worry about getting pulled out by anyone when I get in too deep.
Didn't realize that this was going to hit such a nerve.

Hey Roofer! I was wondering where you went? Did ya get the boot at F.M. I know I have several times! Yeah, as with everything if you treat it good it will usually last longer with less troubles. ATV does stand for "All" terrain vehicle. If I didn't like to test the 4wd capabilities I would of purchased a Raptor or something like it. I use mine for everything, but do alot of plowing with it. Icefishing, hunting,hauling firewood,and maintaining our 1/4 mile long driveway. My wheeler gets worked there's no doubt about that. I'll have to see if the dates work out for the rides this year.

Ya, got booted for "discussing forum policy" (making fun of the rules in the public forum). I think some of the mods may have had it out for me because I called them "city folk" and "sissy". Oh well. Everyone is a tough guy behind the keyboard, right......... 
I said it many times that I liked the people there, just not the dictation on the open forums.
Seems better here already. At least they let us talk amongst ourselves (PM's) and I can see that the mods can take a little guff and hand it out in a decent way.
Just have to see if anyone can back up their spouts here and come out and ride.

Only 200 miles on it so far, but it's been good. Only got out once this winter on anything more than 10 miles or so. Wasn't much for riding with the trails all closed off for the sleds, but at least they had a decent season this year. It's nice someone got to use the trails and help out keeping the economy going up there.

It's supposed to be totally redesigned. From what I've heard it is the best of everything. Only thing I'm not a fan of is it's weight (heavy), and if you get to see the unit with the plastic removed the engine/transmission takes up every square inch of the frame.

Re: New addition to the 800 Po-Po

Yep, total redesign.... for the better, IMO. I wasn't a fan of the Polaris weight either, but 70 HP changes that. It feels just as light as my brute force did.
It will be interesting to see how they do this weekend at mud nationals.
May be going to Gen Andrews on the 18th if anyone is interested. Of course it would depend on the weather and trail conditions (closures).

The 18th may work! I see you live up that way, how are those trails usually? I know the Nemadji has a lot of peat bogs, mud and cut forest. Kinda the same there?
Yeah, I hear ya on the weight. Jami has the Rincon, and that is something like 100 pounds lighter than mine. I have no issue throwing weight around (As I have a lot of it! ) on the 800. I think the softer rear end settings on my rear shocks really keep it glued to the trail which I like. As you said, the power really helps overcome it.
Anybody else wanna head up that way on Saturday the 18th?
WI trails don't open until Memorial Day, right?

Looks like we might have a decent group on the 18th! We went to Gen Andrews about 3 weeks ago, it was pretty good but was still pretty frozen. Should be alot better by the 18th. Met a couple new people on the ride, both good riders and a good time.
Hopefully they can find something for me to do around here so I dont have to go to SD! Im really hate working on the road, but atleast its work!

Jami is my tournament fishing partner. Kooty is the trouble maker that you have to watch out for.  If you have sheep, don't invite him over. Llamas either. He has velcro gloves and knee high rubber boots. If he asks you if you wanna go a round with the champ...just look at him and .
Speaking of South Dakota, Kooty was expelled from there after he turned 18. He returns from time to time under a false name.

Yes, new truck. I wanted a long box, wanted it before next year, and under $50K. The Dodges were the only ones that had a decent deal. The motor is unbelievable and it was $8K cheaper than a Chevy. The Ford's just aren't reliable right now. They are supposed to be getting a new diesel again.
I used to be brand loyal to GM, but now I really don't care any more. If it's a Diesel that is decent, I'm happy.

A little louder than I thought...but they have a deep growl/rumble to them. I will post up some pics later.
