If I use a 1" Hacksaw on an SRX What size studs can I go with WITHOUT changing the drivers and not destroying my front heat exchanger. I am looking for people that have experiance with the same set up on an SRX.
 
running 1.175" here no issues. It was hitting my rear exchangers but that wont happen with you, the reason it was hitting was due to my edge rear skid bottoming out prematurely due to ps3 shock blowby.
 
i've done testing between the 1" hacksaw & 1" predator. hacksaw is faster top end....but the predator hooks up harder on bottom end. for trails i would use the predator. lakes, the hacksaw. 1.075" for both & keep the track snug & put in front heat exchanger protectors..

How did you do your testing? I'm looking for a new track and these two is what it came down to. The Predator (now Curve) is made of a harder rubber so it should be better at high speed with less ballooning? But on the down side it is 1lbs heavier then the hacksaw.
 
Under proper installation, the chances of a tear out with the 1.075" studs is going to be extremely rare and for the normal trail rider it is a great choice when it comes to reliability. Many people don't understand stud lengths and how much penetration that are actually getting. If you were to install a 1.000" length stud in a 1" track, the proper installation of that stud alone is going to give you a hair short of .25" penetration (This of course will vary slightly depending on manufacture but is very close). When you move up to the 1.175" or 1.25" stud length for that matter, you are going to increase the likeliness of a tear out even when installed properly. If you are very oriented to getting great acceleration and control, then you can go with a longer stud. Just remember that everything has it's pro's and con's in life. Running 1.175" studs is normally a pretty safe bet but it will in fact decrease reliability compared to a 1.075".

i have 1.075 warthogs in mine, put the hacksaw on last year, hooks up amazing and top end is definately there. Unbelievable difference from the stocker with 144 studs to the hacksaw with 192
 
I have a 2001 SRX and last year I put the Ice Ripper track on it. I believe it has a 1.063 paddle on it. I want to stud it this year but I'm not sure what stud length to use? I imagine it will have to be taller then the paddle studs to be effective but how tall should I go? I have both tunnel protectors and front heat exchange protectors.
