What aftermarket options are out there for an exhaust for a 185S????

The 185S has a fully suspended frame. Has anyone run a 200X exhaust on a 185S?

DG? ... Cobra? ...

And who has them????

dennis kirk has DG and Cobra exhausts on their website for a 185S. I think they also have a Jardine Stalker exhaust on there for it.

Here's a pic of my suspension 185s with a supertrapp. Definitely worth searching for, and it's for a 200x. A stock 185s exhaust won't work.

Cobra is junk, don't waste your money. DG is decent, but you can find better. Dennis Kirk used to offer White Bros. E-Series universal mufflers, you just ordered what headpipe outside diameter you had, and then made your own mounts. I would try to find something like that, either a universal E-Series, or a universal SuperTrapp.

I like cobra pipes. They may not be the highest quality ones but they make pipes for old machines that nobody else does. I'd put a cobra on any of my machines.

I've heard too many super-loud, annoying machines with Cobras to even consider using them. They're cheaply made, too. I've had a Cobra blow the core out on a trail ride, and so has Super90, I believe. If you're serious about your machine, you'll take the time to get a decent exhaust, or make one yourself.

Yes your right AK. Ive had alot of problems with my cobras in the past. The core blew out numerous times making it a VERY VERY loud cone, thats from it being held in by only 1 bolt. Also the mount snapped clear off hitting a tiny jump in a field not even getting 1' off the ground. And another thing is the paint burns off the first time the exhaust gets even moderately hot. Right now I have the cobra head pipe and procircuit t4 shorty on it. I like it alot more than my cobra, also looks pretty good.

But I will say atleast cobra still makes exhausts for old machines unlike others. If they stepped up their quality to normal core and shaped exhausts, also use some better steel. I think they would have a half decent company.

Oh yeah I also forgot about the packing, It usually comes out very fast due to the huge core vents inside, only thing that was left was a piece jammed near the end cap.

Has anyone put a 200X exhaust on their 185S?

I believe it will bolt right onto your suspension frame, because all the "auto-x" projects seem to use a 200X exhaust, and a 185 motor will bolt into a 200X chassis.

i put my 200x exhaust on my 200s when i had it. 200s and 185s frames are the same i believe.
