XP1000 EXHAUSTS
ALBA RACING SLIP-ON EXHAUST

Alba Racing spent countless dyno hours trying to
create the perfect XP 1000 exhaust system. The end
result was not a system at all. ALBA claims that
the OEM Polaris header and collector are near
perfect in design and that no real gains could be
found with different designs. They found that
creating a free-flowing muffler could produce
a 2-horsepower gain. Due to the extreme heat
created by bigger-bore UTVs with CVT clutches,
ALBA opted to use a maintenance-free, automotive-type
muffler instead of a typical ATV-type muffler. This automotive-
type muffler is internally spark arrested. The slip-on mounts in minutes and
includes an oxygen-sensor bung. The full, stainless steel-constructed Alba exhaust
is said to produce a powerful, deep tone for $499.

GIBSON TWIN REAR-EXIT EXHAUST

Gibson Performance has developed a super trick-looking, twin-exit, slip-on-style exhaust that creates a claimed 2–4 rear-wheel horsepower, 3–5 foot-pounds of torque and an extra 2–3 mph. The Gibson slip-on system utilizes a compression-spring fitting like stock, allowing for plenty of movement to handle all types of abuse and virtually eliminating breakage. Gibson claims a very reasonable 96-decibel sound output. It also uses a louvered and chambered design, eliminating any internal packing to maintain itself (blowout). A USFS spark arrestor is included, and the system is available in stainless or black ceramic finish for $718.

HMF PERFORMANCE SERIES DUAL FULL SYSTEM

HMF offers one system with multiple options for the Polaris XP 1000. The Performance Series mufflers can be ordered in brushed, black, orange, or red with either turn-down or vector-style end caps. The full-system dual exhaust features a 2-into-1-into- 2 header system. Dual head pipes flow into a single collector, complete with an integrated oxygen-sensor bung, and emerge as two again, flowing directly into the dual-muffler cans. HMF claims an impressive 4 horsepower at high rpm and 2 foot-pounds of torque. They also claim horsepower increases with the addition of their Quiet Cores, which also bring the decibels down to a reasonable level. Price starts at $875 and goes to $975 (equipped with Quiet Cores and spark arrestors).
