Polaris 700 muffler?

[Mrdakin]

I have a Briggs 18 HP V twin. Its going in a G8. It will remain stock, gov removed. My question to all is has anyone used the Polaris 700 muffler in a big block swap??

I have used a couple different exhaust/muffler combos, never a Polaris 700. Is that a UTV?

I've run several Vtwins with several different exhaust setups and I actually ended up with a straight through muffler from the local tractor store. Turns out that muffler fits a Thermo-King generator for a semi truck. It was used on a 16hp Vanguard, 23hp Vanguard, and VC460 engines and sounded great. Not too quiet, not too loud. Very similar to a stock ATV type sound. Quieter than a lawn tractor. This one has a 90 degree inlet so the muffler can be mounted across the back. The tailpipe was straight out so a turndown would be used.

On the same engines I also ran a muffler from a Yamaha Raptor 660 atv. That one sounded really good, but a little on the louder side. It had a deeper tone. The disadvantage was the end of the muffler had a weird 22 degree angle that didn't work well for my setup, so I switched. Still have it.

Another muffler I liked was on a cart I recently sold. It had a build 20hp Vanguard in it. The previous owner set it up with a 1" exhaust and a Supertrap mini muffler. It sounded really good, and it was adjustable, add or subtract discs. A little pricey though.

With this setup, you should consider installing a rev kit, it's cheap insurance.

I think the unit I saw on Amazon was for a ATV 700 polaris. Caltric compatible, with Exhaust Muffler - 700 sportman. My engine will remain stock.
