HMF Titan QS on my 1k

Couple pix off my phone. Last pic is the stock exhaust with maybe 6 hours of riding on it while I still had the tuner plugged in so it was running rich..

Anyways the Titan QS seems pretty nice so far. As far as swapping mufflers goes it was straightforward just a pita.

Sound is great. Good rumble at idle. Compared to the Yoshi this thing whispers, that being said you can tell it doesn’t breathe half as well. Breathes a ton better than the stock unit though. I see no issues running this down the trails. I tested it out on an open farm with a wood line down one side and the thing isn’t loud even at full tilt. In the woods I would imagine by 100 yards out you wouldn’t know the thing was there.

The bike is not as snappy as it was with the Yoshi, you can tell there’s something missing from the powerband. But again, compared to stock there is a noticeable pickup in the upper mid range.

Now what everyone is wondering…hows the heat…Well I have had the header wrapped since I picked up my XMr at the dealer. As far as plastics getting hot I’ve had zero problems with the Yoshi and tons with stock (see muffler). The Titan Qs is again somewhere in between. The rear fender got really hot and kind of soft, but I could actually touch it as where stock I couldn’t. So this did help a little. Putting it on the trailer at night you could see a slight glow inside the muffler so she was hot. I MIGHT try wrapping the tailpipe and then just beef up the head shields around the muffler or I might try making up my own heat shield for the tailpipe and along the entire side of the machine. But for now, it’s good for trail riding or hitting the mud, just not crawling through the woods (needs some airflow which I didn’t have any in the woods).

So I’d say all in all if you’re looking for something you can use on the trail without losing usable horsepower or going full meltdown this wouldn’t be a bad pick. More than likely will be driving up Mt Washington this coming weekend on it so we’ll see how it does there.



+4″ Front Lift axles for a G2 Outlander

So recently picked up a new/used 4" lift from catvos for a decent price. The kit came with rear axles, but not front. I’ve contacted catvos and apparently the only front axle that will work is a turner axle (rhino has a +4 that will work for the rear, but not the front)….that being said I’d like to avoid having to pay $400+ for an axle. Does anyone know of any other options on the market or possibly something that cross references over? I’d love to get this thing bolted up and going and this is the only obstacle in my path.

Bike is a 2013 outty 800xt

Any help with this is appreciated.

FNG to Polaris

Been going through threads as a guest. Looking into buying a 1k High Lifter as I live in Florida and have lots of water covered land. First Polaris atv, and have been reading up on things to look for, or out for.
Front diff cover. Don’t know how difficult install is, completely capable on doing it, but can I get the dealership to install it or no sale on my part, maybe? On their dime….
Frame braces. Unsure on this one. Don’t jump much, but will try to climb anything and everything in and out of the water.

Thanks for any info.

Middle-Tennessee Woods spider eater

Hello, just bought a Sportsman 450 HO. I have 15 acres of woods to ride and have been cutting some trails through it. Does anyone know where I can purchase poles that mount on the front to catch spiders and their webs? I hate it when I get a face full a webs and occasionally a spider in the face.
