MBRP Performance Exhausts for The Arctic Cat ZR 600 CATALYST

When it comes to modern day snowmobiles, maximizing horsepower and shaving weight is the name of the game.

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.

SNOWMOBILE EXHAUST MODS

Dear Motorhead:

It is disturbing that you promote illegal exhaust modifications (MBRP Turbo Exhaust System). The Ontario Motorized Snow Act makes it illegal to modify the exhaust if it makes it louder. There are enough complaints about noisy sleds in and around private property and this is leading to closure of many trails on private property.

Why not do a program about quiet exhaust and riding responsibly on trails on and around private property. Include speed limits, not leaving the trail on private property, not leaving garbage at stops, not leaving spin bumps every time you stop and go again, they just freeze and the next unsuspecting family coming around the corner hits the bump, and goes off the trail, etc. It would make a great PR episode.

Thanks for your Facebook post.

We agree, Ontario does have regulations relating to exhaust modifications. We stand in support of obeying the law in your jurisdiction. In all fairness Ontario’s law is too broad – it should only relate to vehicles producing recorded decibel levels above a certain limit. The presence of an aftermarket exhaust does not necessarily mean the noise level has been elevated. Agreed, in the past aftermarket exhausts have become known for outrageous noise. The law should regulate decibels – not the act of modification.

Our position on the show and in the magazines relates to this reality – we service the entire North American snowmobile marketplace with our content. Ontario is only one province out of many provinces and states in the USA. We simply cannot preclude a quality aftermarket supplier from exposing their products because of one jurisdiction’s rules.

You are correct about and we don’t disagree – using a too loud exhaust system in Ontario or any other place is not a good idea. Not sure how that relates to the other issues you’ve raised but responsibility and common sense is at times in short supply in our sport. However it is my experience there is about 3% of participants in most activities which essentially create the problems for the 97% who are responsible.
