Straight pipe?
Hey guys i have a rhino 250d i made a post a few weeks ago about my wheels litterally ripping off so it took a while but i got a really good deal on some brand new take offs from a grizzly 12 inch wheels with brand new maxxis tires for 80 bucks .the problem is the wheels are bigger and they rub on the muffler . I took it off and ran for a little bit and it sounds waaaaay better now but i looked up online and people comment that engines blow up and there is loss of power bla bla bla. Would it be a problem ?

Out here in the fire prone west it’s mandatory to have a (muffler) spark arrestor for obvious reasons. Personally I am past the days of overly loud exhausts and the additional ringing of the ears at the end of the day.

I always thought the spark arrestor was the screen over the exit of the muffler. Like the OP I thought a certain amount of back pressure was necessary for things to be right. I guess the jetting compensates the issue of the free flow.... I can see that.
LOL I'm 2 for 2 at a loss... still got some learnin to do. |

It is the screen on the muffler, which he took off so no spark arrester. 1 for 2!
