While snowmobile manufacturers go to painstaking lengths to squeeze every available ounce of horsepower out of engines; engineers have their hands tied when it comes to shedding the weight from emission regulated exhaust systems.

This is where aftermarket exhaust companies like MBRP can play a pivotal role in dropping significant pounds while increasing performance with modest horsepower gains along with delivering a crisper throttle response and an overall better sounding package.

MBRP’s latest performance exhausts are for the highly anticipated and sought after Arctic Cat 600 C-TEC2 engine in the CATALYST chassis. The exhausts are constructed from T304 stainless steel and are Tig welded. The Race and Trail exhausts are also fitted with laser cut brackets for precise fit, thereby making it easy to slip the exhaust into place using hand tools and existing exhaust springs.

The RACE exhaust (P/N: 2390316), featuring a more aggressive sound is targeted to closed course racing and mountain riding applications. It relies solely on the performance exhaust core and sheds an impressive 16 pounds from the stock muffler while increasing horsepower by an additional 3 HP.

The TRAIL Exhaust (P/N: 239T114), with its more moderate and trail-friendly tone has an additional chamber core compared to the Race exhaust and shaves off 12 pounds while delivering a 1 horsepower increase.

While evaluating the TRAIL exhaust our test riders commented on the crisper throttle response that really comes to life past three quarter throttle along with the signature and pleasing MBRP exhaust note that enhances the deeper tone of the 600 C-TEC2.

MBRP prides itself on high performance exhausts that stand up to the harshest environments and offers a 2-year full coverage warranty on all its snowmobile exhausts.

While that last statement might be true, the social acceptability of an aftermarket exhaust that generates increased power at the cost of increased sound (db) is dwindling – fast.

Many snowmobile jurisdictions in the US and Canada have simply outlawed all exhaust modifications. While this scrutiny does seem biased against the snowmobile industry, it’s time for a better way to get more power and lighter weight.

My point about unfair or unbalanced scrutiny of the snowmobile industry when it comes to exhaust noise, is 100-percent rooted in the reality over 80 percent of all Harley Davidson motorcycles are fitted with performance, low restriction (read: ultra-loud) exhaust pipes and for the most part, nobody seems to care. Go figure.

Enter the MBRP Quiet series exhaust. MBRP and its talented crew of exhaust designers have come up with a piece of sno-mo performance genius. After riding an 850 Polaris with an MBRP Quiet Series silencer this past weekend I’m very optimistic about the future of this product.

The Quiet Series silencer is a complete no-brainer to install on a Polaris AXYS 850 and a little more work on a Ski-Doo G4 850 or 600R. The stainless steel exhaust is beautifully made and comes highly polished and with everything needed for the install.

The net HP gain is not heroic , but is a legit one horsepower. However, the Quiet Series scores big points in weight reduction – it’s a full six pounds lighter than stock.

Here’s the beef. The Quiet Series silencer is just that – much quieter than any aftermarket silencer we’ve ever tested. At idle, through engagement and at trail speeds there is no, zero, zip obtrusive crackly or annoying resonance. None.

When you crack the loud handle out on the lake there is a definite difference in the exhaust note from stock.

Think of it this way. Corvettes come with legal-quiet stock exhaust systems. Despite this, Corvettes have a sweet, throaty, imposing tone all of their own. That’s the best way to describe the MBRP Quiet Series Exhaust silencer.

The time has arrived, my sno-mo-accessory-crazed Buds, to live in the now and get an MBRP Quiet Series silencer. For sure – you’ll make more friends and contribute to protecting our sport’s future.
