i am thinking of building a new exhaust for my sled. i will use the MCX stock downpipe and just go from the flange were it normally bolts to the muffler.
should i just angle the exhaust down and cut it off there, or would it be worthwhile to run it towards the back of the tunnel a little bit to help prevent some ice buildup by having the warm pipe there?
how will the noise compare to the 'stock' MCX muffler underload, i started the sled with the muffler off and it wasn't bad at idle/revving, but that doesn't tell me anything about the underload noise
would the extra weight of the pipe offset the savings in snow/ice buildup?
i had ice buildup at the back of the tunnel pretty bad a few times, but don't recall it being much of a problem for the most part.
what are your experiances/opinions?
the whole exhaust is going to be ceramic coated as well from the head to the tip.
