Well, I fitted the new alternator kit some weeks ago with the larger engine bay fan, and it works very well. The new fan pulls heaps more air out of the engine bay, and out of the seating area. This may be a problem for those who need heat in their cabs, but for us in the tropics it's a winner. The new alternator supplies enough power to run both fans and lights on high beam with plenty to spare. I didn't really have much trouble with the standard setup, except when using high beam for long periods of time. The battery got a bit lazy but never let me down. With the new setup, the battery is fully charged no matter what you are doing.
To answer the earlier question about what exhaust I fitted, all I did was lift my muffler up similar to what the new machines have as standard. It puts the muffler nearer to the fan and seems to get rid of the heat better. It also gives more clearance and accessibility to the cvt belt and battery. Mine was a very early machine, I'm pretty sure most machines over there have this exhaust on them already.
Thats an exellent report for those Mudd-Ox owners that have complained about heat issues. It sounds like this new upgrade really does the job that it was supposed to do.
