Did the Y pipes look good when you replaced the donuts? Bad Y pipes could cause the sound that you are describing but I am not so sure that they would cause the sled not to idle when hot.
Have you tried turning up the idle speed adjustment? Perhaps when it is cold the ECU has it on high idle but then when it warms up it is set to low?

Possibly, also possibly bad gas. Couldn't hurt to try new plugs and fresh gas. Did you try turning up the idle adjustment when it is warm?

there is a check valve that is bolted to tank that lets any unused gas to return to tank. If the valve is plug or not opening the gas backs up and engine will flood at idle.
