ARRESTORS & NEW MEMBERS
- Thread starter TWO GUNS
- Start date
The picture of the muffler with the welded on tailpipe is from my '05 RTV. It had the screw on arrestor. The one with the fatigued tail pipe is from the '11. there is no clean out plug on it but the tail pipe just unbolts and the arrester comes straight out to clean that way. On the RTV forum here, I have an old post with some pictures . It is titled something like Muffler needed or else something like '11 xt muffler needed. bordercollie

bczoom is correct. It's the old style and it's gone ....Good eye Brian. Thanks. It does not seem to lack power but I was hoping to remove the arrestor and get more.
Want more power, get a high rise intake. You can feel the difference !!!!
Enjoy the rush >>>>>>

............ two guns
I left my canister/filter where it was originally, but added piping/tubing to extend the air intake to up under the rear roof. I did away with the intake box that was mounted to the rops near the fuel tank. and added the new pipe/tubing to the canister. The air filter lasts and lasts now. bordercollie

After looking at the great hi rise intakes listed here I looked at my own 1100. Unfortunately any home remedy would have compromised fuel access so I bit the bullet and bought a kit that was sitting on the shelf at Edmonton Kubota for a few years. They dropped the price to $245 from $268. I installed it yesterday and I have to admit that I couldn't have built a better fitting item.
Very happy with it.
Very happy with it.
dhatch, a member cut the arrestor off and later found that the imbalance along with vibration resulted in the muffler to crack. Don't just cut the pipe that the wire mesh is attached to, instead just remove the wire mesh if you see the need. If you do remove the mesh, stay off of government land. There would be a unlikely chance that a spark could be expelled out the exhaust resulting in a fire. Of course, that could happen anywhere, it's just that the government would fine you for not having an arrestor installed. By the way, I didn't cut mine off, just clean a couple times a year.
Pepr is right . I found out that the screen can be cut " accidently" with a grinder's flat wheel....Just don't do anything you are uncomfortable with. I would well imagine your's is clogged up with many hrs on it. I use farm diesel with conditioner. bordercollie .

Gone But Not Forgotten
I still have mine in after 7 years and it don't clog up. Must be because I run winter blend year round which has some kerosene mixed to keep it from gelling. That and a good hard run down the town road every so often that even gets the cooling fan to turn on sometimes.
