Heat generated from the HDI exhaust system and modifing the stock exhaust

[Sard]

Hi Dan,

What was the temperature/humidity on the days you were having problems? Any concerns about the increased power on the drive-train? Thanks for your detailed video on your modifications. I love the idea!

Hey Sard, I don't believe the machine has ever been run under 70 degrees, most of the time the temperature was over 80 degrees. Any time I run the machine in late spring, summer or late fall I can pretty much plan on temperatures above 80 degrees. I am right on coast and this area has hundreds of miles of marsh lands with a coastal salt marsh right behind my home so humidity in Savannah is always high, almost always above 50%. Even in the winter Savannah it will get into the 70's so unless I take it out early on a winter morning it is going to be warm. (we do get into the 30's and high 20's on winter nights and mornings)

So basically anytime I run the machine I am generally going to be in warm temperatures, the exception being cool (45-55 degrees) winter days.

Pertaining to power-The exhaust system doesn't really produce enough extra power to put a strain on an already good HDI drive train.

That's good information, thanks for the reply.
