Step by step guide on how to gut the cat on a 2016 RZR Turbo. Lowers engine temp, turbo temp and gives you RZR a little deeper tone and increased turbo whistle.
Yeah, I didn't add the $$ for the aftermarket either, I'm wanting to spend $$ on other things other than over priced exhaust systems. Been there done that. I'm really enjoying the "Stealth" sound of the stock exhaust, just not the heat. Thanks again!!
It's never going to end, is it?... Lol Love this stuff, our 16 is our 4th RZR. Still have 3. The XP1K will be for sale soon. Removing everything that fit's onto the XPT and turning the 1K back to stock for the most part. Momma still loves the UTVinc built '11- XP900 so we kept it. (I tried to talk her into the XP1K and sell the XP900, but she just cruises around and the ole XP900 is nice. )
Did this change the sound? Went from a Ranger 1000xp to a General and can’t believe how much louder the General is. Hoping this might make a difference.
Very good video very informative couple hours worth of work versus a $600 aftermarket muffler. I just had to see someone do it before I attempted it lol. Again very good video. Thanks!
Nicholas Moreno no I don't have any sound clips but it sounds pretty much stock. Hard to tell any difference, maybe a little bit throatier. But nothing like an aftermarket system.
Nicholas Moreno I'm not sure how it would work with a stage 2 tune. The cat gut is mainly meant for getting rid of some of the heat build up at the turbo and getting a little more airflow. An aftermarket is going to provide you with the maximum air flow but will be louder for sure.
Anthony G. nope no fuel controller needed, my rzr runs better and cooler than ever. Aftermarket mufflers are designed with out any baffles and more free flowing that what I did and fuel control or tuning is optional.
Anthony G. no sputtering, runs the same as before the cat gut, with just a slightly deeper tone and maybe a little more turbo whistle. Some guys report more low end torque, but I didn't notice that.
Chris Teixeira I'm not sure if it would fix that code but it certainly wouldn't hurt and make it breath a little easier and cooler. If you decide to do the cat gut let me know if it fixes your code issue.
It may have fixed it. I took it out for a quick ride yesterday and it didn't throw the code. Well see what happens in a couple of days when I can put a good ride in.
A catalytic converter gets hot as part of it's function. You are not gaining any measurable flow by doing this. Waste of time. Buy an aftermarket muffler if you want to make it sound better.
rcastorena thanks for the input bud, but I'm not trying to increase the sound. In fact that's why I don't want an aftermarket pipe because they are louder. I like the sound of the stock muffler and just wanted the benefits of a cooler turbo. If u watch my video all the way through, the temp readings at the end prove the results.
