New Skid Plate to Cover Exhaust on Apex Mountain

[Stubble Jumper]

We have made a skid plate to cover the exhaust so the track does not hit it and damage it. I am unable to post the picture so can anyone post it for me.

Here are a couple of pic' of the skid plate. We have made some extras let me know.

There's one small problem I can see with this Stubble,unless you've already dealt with it ,is that charge tube and the exhaust are too close together,and they rely on the snow to cool them.we had a problem last year of a hole melting through the rubber charge tube.So this year on the MCX Apex we installed a heat sheild between the two.This something I would recomend strongly to anyone with a MCX,it's easy to install,we used a 6" piece angle aluminum and pop rivet it to the tunnel so that there is an air space between the two.This looks like a great idea,how much do you charge for it?

Thrusted Vector: We haven't thought of the issue with the charge tube but i will be looking at and thanks for the info. We are having our pipes ceramic coated to hold in as much heat as possible. We are using the same kit that turbo tim used. They are telling us that it is good to 2000 deg
and the hotter you can keep your exhaust gas the better and faster the turbo spools up. We are hoping with the holes in the skid it will help cool
a little. The Skid plate cost is 150 $ plus gst. You can get it from Red Deer power sports . There Phone number is 1 - 403 - 357 - 1578. No Matter how you look at the skid plate is going to help the problem of the track hitting the exhaust and hopefully stop everything from getting bent. Stubble Jumper

Not if you keep the original tunnell protectors in place, both of them. Are you studded then you need to add 5-7 millimeters to the protectors under the tunnell to keep the studs far enough from the piping.
