New Exhaust pipe
 

Hey guys, long time no see but the Helix is running just as strong as ever!

I was about to post here questioning about this new modification ASW has on their exhaust. Turns out after a quick exchange of emails that they have added an air injector to the exhaust system. I was wondering what the extra part we received was for.

Just thought I'd share it with everyone in case not many knew about this unless they bought a recent ASW machine... Now time for me to finish up installing this new tail light I'm adding to my light system and test out the new exhaust :D

That is emissions junk that has been added. It is not an improvement and will reduce performance.

I agree that it reduces performance as I tested them with and without.cap it off-

Well good thing I ended up capping it off - the attachment wouldn't even fit. Battery was in the way.

That came on the machine factory stock?

Nope, this was a replacement muffler straight from the factory. I've gone through 3 mufflers, and this last one had this mod for some reason.

Has the muffler failed or is the pipe breaking?I have a lot of pipe breakage and found that if you weld a 3/8' rod that matches the bent eliminates that problem.

The muffler failed several times on me, the baffle plate on the inside keeps coming loose. If I shake the thing, it'll rattle badly. The new one's holding up as of one run so far.

As many times as you've replaced it you could have bought a FMF slip on 2 or 3 times over and had better preformance.
