  • Note: Click on the pictures to enlarge them. Canister installation was done by Dave & Mike from U.P. Cycle & Sport, located in Iron Mountain, Michigan.
  • Remove the side panel from Ski-Doo right hand side (pictures #1 & #2) . This will make it easier to work on removing the oem canister.
  • Remove oem canister springs and remove your oem canister, as shown in picture # 3.
  • Picture #4 & #5 shows Mike applying the heat reflective tape directly behind where the canister will be installed. This will help to deflect some heat away from the components that are close to the canister.
  • Picture #6 shows Mike removing a small amount of material around where the muffler pipe exits the Ski-Doo. This will ensure a nice snug fitment.
  • There is no need to lube the end of the bell (picture # 3) with high temperature silicone, because there is a ceramic gasket already on the bell (pic #3). This ceramic gasket will work fine and not leak.
  • Installing the new MBRP canister (picture #7) required a second set of hands, with thanks going out to Dave Rock, Owner U.P. Cycle & Sport.
  • This step requires you to attach the canister springs with the provided spring extenders. Picture #8 shows the oem springs with the MBRP spring extenders installed.
  • Picture #8 shows how well the muffler mates up with the sled body. This a very nice job by MBRP. The fitment is perfect along with the welds.
  • Canister is installed, and you are ready to check your new canister for leaks (picture #8).
  • Replace your side panel.
  • Start up your sled and check for leaks. Run your sled for a while when you start riding, and then recheck it for leaks after you have put some hours on.
  • This MBRP canister makes some sweet sounds!!!!



My Impressions:

Pros:
Lighter weight then oem by 10 lbs.

MBRP canister gives you 2 + extra horse power.

Tig welded stainless steel gussets.

Stainless steel construction will not rust.

Excellent quality TIG Welded construction.

Cons:
Drop in top end speed versus other cans.

Bottom Line:
Anytime you can shave vehicle weight, and gain extra horse power, is a winner in my books always. The MBRP Canister is made of stainless steel and tig welded, which makes for a very high quality muffler that should withstand the rigors of winter operations for the life of your snowmobile.

Stainless steel will not rust, and is a very hardy material for any wet environment. The tig welds are very well done on this canister, and pass this former welding instructors critical inspection.

Installation is very easy, and any back yard mechanic should be able to get this job done. Just follow the instructions, and you will be very surprised when you fire up your sled for the first time, and hear that sweet sound which the MBRP canister gives you.

One benefit of having the MBRP canister is the fact you now have more room to make adjustments on your chain drive, and easily check the chain case fluid levels where you had to struggle to do these tasks before with the oem canister installed.

The nice thing about installing the new MBRP canister is that you don't need to rejet your carbs. This makes this mod very practical and very easy to do.

These statements sound familiar, eh.Why do I say that, because this is my second MBRP Canister installation this year. I liked the way the first canister fit & sounded on my Polaris Switchback so much, that I had to have a MBRP Canister on my new Ski-Doo MXZ Renegade 800R. I think this is testement enough, as to why I think the MBRP is one of the top canisters availabe today for your sled.

If you plan on doing any mods to your sled, you need to check out what MBRP has to offer. I am glad I did and I highly recommend any MBRP Product.
I look forward to running my sleds this winter. After removing so much weight off the front end, and also adding some extra HP, both sleds should really perform better now.
Now, think "Snow".
