[QUOTE="RiderCoach Lar, post: 416345, member: 2643"] I have the complete Holeshot system AND an aftermarket heat blanket on my '03. Those two VERY simple mods completely eliminated the heat issue :thumbsup: You might want to consider doing that BEFORE you incur the considerable time and expense of the other mods you're considering. You cannot believe how much heat is thrown off the stock cats. And when you're sitting still, all that heat just rises up (or is blown back by the fan) into the engine compartment and onto your legs. I believe the Holeshot system is coated both internally and externally with the same stuff (ceramic, if I'm not mistaken). Between that and being an eighth inch larger than stock, it helps move a tremendous amount of heat back and out behind you. If you want to manage heat, start with the source first. If you can't eliminate the source, then move onto how how best to manage it. BTW, that "purist" comment above had me rolling on the floor laughing :rofl: [/QUOTE]
