If you are studded, you should have protectors on both the exchangers and the tunnel.

Amen to that!

I have a few bent fins on my rear exhanger it i didnt have protectors i dont wanna know what would have happened

Better safe then sorry!
 
From what I know if you keep your track tension right and dont go over 1.075 on your studs you will be all set.
 
The protectors are stock on the front exchanger but, not the back.
I have 192 studs in my stock track and have bottomed out the suspension with no damage to the rear heat exchanger. If runnig longer studs I would put them in. As already pointed out...a little protection goes a long way. I have seen another sled that got dinged in the back and tweeked the tunnel. That sled developed a leak in the heat exchanger from the studs and had to be replaced.
 
If you do not have them you better carry some jb weld and hope you catch
the leak before you over heat the motor.
 
those are the from ones and if you're track should get sloppy, such as hard riding it is possible to hit the exchanger. stick you're hand up in there in front of the track you can feel them if they are there. the rear ones lift the flap and look in there, they are shaped di9fferent but yoou'll figure it out.
