Welcome to the forum!

What's your budget? I think a full SLP pipe/can setup would be the ideal exhaust system for that sled. I'd go for the C&A Pro skis, and no more than a 1.5" track. Stud it if you want more traction.

I would ride it for a while first and then prioritize your needs. That way you can optimize your funds by upgrading areas that give you the performance you're after. If the current track on the sled works fine, why swap it out? Just using the track as and example, insert any part.............JMO

i was more thinking about a snostuff can, they sound so nice and they are only 209$ around here, i like the deeper sound, i checked out slp on youtube and didnt find much, as for the skis i am probably gonna save up like Phazer said and get them after the season, as for a track, the dealer im buying it from has extenions for around 400$ that will make it 144, probably wait till the end of the season also, just see how it goes cause they seem to go good from what i seen on youtube lol are these sleds geared very high? or are they torquey, when u squeze the throttle can u make them lift easy?

The SS Rumble Pack does have a great sound to it, not going to give you the performance of, say, a pipe though.

A 121" to 144" track extension would make that a totally different sled, and really go against what the Pro X is designed for. Find a Switchback or RMK if you want a 144; save a ton of money and bother converting it.

Most any 800 has plenty of muscle. It will lift 'em.

is it a pro x, or a pro xr 800. two VERY different sleds. if it is the pro xr, ride it first it will suprise you. that was the strait race chassis with an 800... SLP singles work very well on the liberty twins. if it is the pro x you probably have some room for improvement in the clutches, pro xr, ride it. you will be happy as it sits for a while. get used to the machine and tune from there.
