A Few Exhaust Questions


Recommended Posts

I'm thinking about a new muffler for my AC 400, but I have a few questions...

1. Will it void my warranty?

2. Will I get a noticeable gain (torque, speed, etc)?

3. Will the pipe require me to re-jet or do anything else?

My choices are:

You DO NOT have to rejet in every situation. I put an after-market pipe on my quad and did not change my jets. It runs fine. Only difference other than the performance gains was every now and then I get a little back fire. Like once a ride. If you put a pipe on and it is popping like crazy change it. You will know right away if you need to.

rejetting is wen u take the jet that is inside ur carb and change it to a smaller jet stream or a bigger one.... now u do get better mpg and more hp..... but a problem with rejetting is that if u live in a region with different climates you have to change the jet for warm weather and cold weather.... it is a lot cheaper then the other kinda of mods out there but u also need to know wat ur getting urself into before u tear ur carb apart...

I thought rejetting was dictated by alititude and not climate?

Basing it on seasonal changes would be a major design flaw....IMNSHO......

Rejetting is necessary when there is a change in the air to fuel mixture. It can be with altitude or it can be with changing parts like intake and exhaust components. Now that I have this written I think that txduggan was being a smart as* and this makes me look like a dumbass but I gonna leave it anyway. :dammit:

i know that it is about altitude,,,,, but wen i called my dealer after installing the kit he said u have to change it to the different climates.... sounded a little odd but i have no idea if he is right or not...

it depends on how thick the air is, like in the winter u drop a size becuase of the air in winter is thiner.

okay i have a question, What is re-jetting? and how do I do it?

theres 2 jets the MAIN & PILET. the pilet jet is for bottom end power changes and is fine tuned with the air fuel screw, the main jet is for mid and top end power changes a mid power change is done by the needle clip setting and a jetting change, and the top end power change is done with a main jet change and needle if needed. If u are running lean(to much air per gas) then jet up, and if u are running rich(to much gas per air) then jet down.

i hope this helps you.:yes:

That's on a 2 stroke. On a 4 stroke there is only one to change for altitude.

      I have been exploring all the options available, so many, its hard to choose. I have kind of narrowed it down to the Honda Pilot, Subaru Outback, and Kind of looking at the Outlander, although its a little small,  the new one is nice looking. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations or gripes with any of these rides. I have driven Jeeps for the past 25  years and they have been great, but their price point has gotten to high. Expieriences good or bad would be helpful. Thanks!

      Hey all,
      I need some input on a problem I'm having with my Kodiak 400 that keeps fouling plugs. First off, I've done a lot of work to this thing, most of it all in good fun. Brake work, cv joints, u joints, carb kit, checked valve lash, compression good, changed all fluids, etc... My problem is it keeps fouling plugs very quickly. I can put a new (manual recommended plug) in and it starts right up, runs great, idles great, picks up good. Doesn't stutter at all. I ride it for 1/2 a mile, it cuts off and won't start back up. I let it sit overnight thinking maybe it got to hot. Try to start it the next day, nothing. Put a new plug in, fires right up, runs great for another 1/2 mile or so, dead. The plugs come out and look carbon fouled with dry black soot on them. I don't know if this is a fuel/air mixture problem or a ignition problem. A couple of things that I noticed is I never need to pull the choke out to start it. Also, when it starts it automatically idles high like an automatic choke would do, then it comes back down to a good idle. Also I noticed that the air/fuel mixture needle valve screw does nothing when I adjust it in or out. I can screw it all the way closed and the motor still runs and idles good. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm almost leaning to a ignition breaking down the plugs??
      Thanks!
