uperTrapp
isn’t wasting any time. As you’re reading this there are
new applications for the super-hot IDSX performance exhausts heading
to the warehouses, there’s a brand-new XD Race Pipe for the Honda
TRX450R with more applications on the way, there’s a new 2-into-1
system for the big Honda VTX 1800 cruiser and if all that isn’t
enough, a legendary tuner has just joined the SuperTrapp R&D team
bringing 30-plus years of race-winning experience with him. Put all
that together and it’s clear SuperTrapp’s going to make
2005 pretty interesting, no matter what area of motosport you’re
shopping.
You can start with those new ATV systems. There are four new applications
for the already popular lineup of IDSX performance exhausts. New for
2005 are full systems and slip-ons for the Yamaha Rhino 660, a slip-on
for the Kawasaki Brute Force and there’s a Universal slip-on, too.
These lightweight and off-road tough exhausts are designed specifically
for big bore quads. Packed with SuperTrapp’s diffuser-disc system
they’re completely tunable, too. They’ll deliver all the
low-end torque needed for blasting through the mud bogs and sand dunes
or climbing the steepest hills – and do it with a near-stock sound
level – and then when there’s a need for top-end horsepower
that’s there, too. SuperTrapp’s adjustable disc system allows
the IDSX to be perfectly tuned to the job at hand; simply adding or subtracting
discs puts the horsepower, torque and sound right where you want it.
This is one exhaust that does it all, and the IDSX’s internal-discs
keep mud from clogging the system when the going gets sloppy. It functions
as a U.S.F.S.-approved spark arrestor, too, and an extended turndown
outlet directs the exhaust away from machine. It’s all stainless
steel construction, including the canister, head pipe and the core.
The new Yamaha 660 Rhino IDSX slip-on carries Part Number 835-4662
and a $350 suggested retail, the 660 Rhino full system is #835-4664
with a $475 retail, the new Kawasaki Brute Force slip-on is #835-6750
at $350 and that IDSX Universal slip-on, #835-8175, retails for $335.
SuperTrapp’s got something new for the racing ATVs, too. The XD
Race Pipe is new this year, and the first application is for the Honda
TRX450R. The XD Race Pipe is all business. It’s a 4-in. race muffler
featuring SuperTrapp’s performance proven external disc system,
and it significantly improves exhaust flow and increases peak horsepower.
The XD Race Pipe is completely tunable, too, and this race-ready system
comes with a brushed aluminum canister, a durable steel core and high-tech
packing material. Tom Carlson, the engine builder at TC Racing and a
20-year veteran of ATV racing is already sold on the XD. “Pipes
are more important than ever,” he says. “When you’re
racing a production ATV the exhaust system accounts for 60-percent of
any horsepower boost a performance shop can find. There are only a few
systems that give you a significant boost in performance and SuperTrapp
is one of them.” The XD Race Pipe slip-on for the Honda TRX450R
comes with Part Number 813-3450 and a retail price of $299. There will
be more applications for the XD Race Pipe later in the year, too.
Moving onto the street, SuperTrapp’s just expanded the 2-into-1
SuperMeg Series to include the Honda VTX 1800. SuperMeg 2-into-1 systems
have been performance proven in dyno shootouts and on racetracks all
over the country. Many feel these systems are the best-performing exhausts
you can put on a V-twin. They can add up to 17-horsepower over a stock
exhaust. SuperMegs feature SuperTrapp’s tunable disc technology,
4-in. external discs here, and the SuperMegs also have a 2.5-in. collector
to maximize flow for even the largest big-bore motor. Wes Brown, AMI
Horsepower Shootout winner eight years running, says, “SuperTrapp’s
tunable discs make it easy to find that sweet spot once the motor work
is done. You won’t be leaving any horsepower on the table.” And
the SuperMegs look good. They’re triple chrome plated mild steel,
there’s a distinctive polished billet end cap and triple chrome
plated heat shields are standard, including one for the collector.
The new Honda VTX 1800 SuperMeg is listed under Part No. 828-31800
and retails for $595.
Count on SuperTrapp’s V-twin performance getting even better, too.
Bill Werner, the most successful tuner in AMA Grand National racing history,
is now collaborating with SuperTrapp to design and develop race and performance-street
exhaust systems. “I’ve used SuperTrapp products for years,” Werner
says. “I’ve always been impressed with the quality and performance
gains, and over the years I’ve made plenty of small modifications
to the systems to make them even better.” Now he’ll be
adding those modifications right into the product line, broadening
the performance range and making those SuperTrapps even more user friendly.
Keep your eye on SuperTrapp. With those
new IDSX systems for the ATVs, new performance exhausts for race-quads,
that new VTX 1800 SuperMeg system and Bill Werner now on board, 2005
is going to be an interesting year thanks to these guys in Ohio. Of
course Parts Unlimited carries it all. Call your rep today for more details.
