Anyone know if I could slam a set of STOCK triple pipes under the hood of a SxR from a SRX. I would swap out hoods if that is all it take, but havent really looked over both sleds before to see all the differences.

Or, if that isnt an option. I have a 2000 Sxr500 (MOD) and a 2001 SxR600 that I would trade for a RX1 ;)!

Otherwise, I must just admit I need a NEW JOB! hehe

Any opinions will be reviewed....and if you have a need to talk #$%&* feel free. :rockon:

Later Brent

(Wisconsin doesnt like modified canisters on a triple 600.....like $165.00 no likey! :o| )
 

you cant get SRX pipes in the SXR body the pllastic belly pan asn the sides are too small! you would have to get the belly pan for the SRX and the hood

Thanks, well guess I will wait till I crash it and then swap everything over. Or need to go back to old reliable...get a new job! :o|
 
Talk to BETHEVIPER...He put srx pipes on his viper and may be able to offer you some advice. If i remember correctly he has had very good results with this mod.
 
SRX pipes on a SX?

Are you talking about putting the SRX pipes on the SX(non-power valve engine)? If that's the case I would reccommend saving your money.
 
Okay...I didnt think about the powervalves. My SxR doesnt have that. Guess thats out of the question.

NEXT QUESTION...anyone know of a nice set of triple pipes that would past the DNR with flying colors? Thanks.
 
I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings re: the Wisconsin DNR but if you come across a cranky officer who has you open your hood, you can't refuse to be inspected, and finds aftermarket exhaust you're going to get a ticket regardless of the actual sound level.

I know of a few people who've been ticketed but know of many, many more who are running trick setups and don't seem to get tagged. Guess it depends on your relationship with Mr. Murphy of Murphy's Law fame.
:ORC

Personally, Mr. Murphy seems to like my company so I try to do everything I can to keep him from visiting. Evidenced by all the stuff I tend to carry on my sled. ;)
 
SRX pipes will fit in a SXR chassis. The only problem is the hood need to be taller. I am installing a set in my sons MM. New headers will need to be fab'd but other than that no major problems. I am running my SRX with MM pans w/o any problems and I know alot of people that have done the same...........SRXtreme
 
Thanks for all the information! I seem to attract attention when it comes to the DNR, so I guess stock is the way its staying. Seams like to much work swapping back and forth for my trips to wisconsin.

Thanks Again Brent
 
If you read the Wisconsin Snowmobile laws it states that you can not modify the exhaust if it is louder than what it came from the factory for that make and model. It does not say that modifying the exhaust is illegal, but that modifiy the exhaust to be loader than stock is. That is one reason Why they are coming out with a certified decible test. As long as your exhaust level is below 78 db (I think that is correct #) you can run what ever exhaust that you want. The reason most people get ticketed is that the pipes that they are running are over loud or don't use throtle management when driving pass a dnr stop. I have ran CPR and SLP viper pipes, and Aaen 600 twin pipes past many DNR stop in WI and never had a problem with them. But You will run into DNR people that will just give you a ticket for just having aftermarket pipes, but by law there own law they can't give you a ticket unless you are over 78db. and if you are over 78 db you can take it to court because right now they do not have a standardized method of testing and it will be throwing out of court. So thats the loop hole right now.

Here is the rules for the WI DNR







Your snowmobile must have a muffler in good working order, which blends the exhaust noise into the overall engine noise to prevent excessive or unusual noise. The only exception to the sound laws are when you operate your snowmobile during a Sanctioned Race or you are a dealer/manufacturer testing the snowmobile on your own land.






​




◆ Noise limit—82 dBA for every snowmobile manufactured and offered for sale or sold in this state after July 1, 1972 and up to July 1, 1975.
​


◆ Noise limit—78 dBA for every snowmobile manufactured and offered for sale or sold in this state after July 1, 1975.

​


 The department is adopting a new rule for testing snowmobile noise. To help stay compliant, do not alter your exhaust to be louder than the original exhaust system. If your snowmobile sounds louder than normal, you maybe in violation. Maintain your snowmobile and seek the advice of a service technician if you are in doubt.

​


You cannot modify your snowmobile’s exhaust in any manner that will amplify or increase the total noise emission above that emitted by the snowmobile as originally manufactured, regardless of date of manufacture.



Excessive or unusually loud snowmobiles are illegal and hurt Wisconsin’s trail system. Do not increase your exhaust noise or operate with your exhaust system in excess of the sound limits. Wisconsin vigorously enforces the sound limits and penalties can be severe, however the worst thing about a loud snowmobile is that it causes properties to be permanently closed to snowmobile riding.
