G2 outlander CVT exhaust higher

In a stock outlander, engine air intake and cvt intake is pretty high, high enough for my purposes. But the limiting factor is cvt exhaust, which is just right above the gas exhaust, under the seat.
I have heard issues, like melted plastics etc, if you remove the "exhaust cooling" and relocate the cvt exhaust up to pod. That’s what I have heard, but sure it depents how you drive and to what you use your atv for.
So the guestion is: have any of you done (or planned to) a longer cvt exhaust pipe which eventually goes back to gas exhaust to cool it down. Like go up to pod, and back down to its original exit.
That way I could keep the cooling, and go deep in water.
Ideas, anyone?

Engine spudder?

Ive knoticed that the engine runs a lil weird when it cold/hasnt started in a week or so. When i first fire it up and give it gas the engine dosent respond to throttle very well. My suzuki vinson would do the same thing. Once its been idoling for a minuit or so its fine. I washed the bike last sunday after riding. I fired it up and gave it a few blips of throttle in nuetral and it was doing the same thing. So i throttled it up till the point where the engine didnt respond to more throttle n held it there for about a second, then it made a weird pop noise and reved up and didnt do it again after that. What is the reason for this. My vinson was carb with jetting and other work done so i could understand y it was cold natured but this fuel injected bike shouldnt do. Keep in mind im in florida. Ambiant temp was about 84 on sunday

stock brake pads. FYI !!!!!

ok I have 160+ miles on my 2 month old 2015 800 xmr. brake pads r just about down to the metal. I called my dealer and told them. he said that can-am has issued a different set of pads to be used on new units that have a longer life span. if my bike has the old pads currently, which he said I most likely have being they only have 160 miles on them then he is able to issue a warenty claim and have the pads changed to the new better pads.

with that being said, can-am knows there pads suck and finally are doing something about it. so if you have a new bike with the factory pads and they have worn put very fast contact your dealer.

Looney Tunes Exhaust Question

Hey gents looking at an LTE dual exhaust for my 2011 outlander max, a gent has a system on sale for cheap LOL thats relative, and he thinks its for a one up but I have been told for the 2 up ( my max ) you just have to add an additional piece to the system. I tried to look this up but no luck, anyone have any experience with this?

Rubbing issues

So I recently got some 29.5 outlaw 2’s put on my outlander on msa m20 rims and man does it look good! But besides that they rub quite a bit in the back when i jump it or hit a big bump Im pretty sure that it is hitting the back of the footwell. I also have a 2in spring spacer lift on it and it made it ride rough like really rough so if I take the lift off it should let it sit a little lower allowing it to not hit the back of the footwell correct? At least I konw it will make it smother!
