I'm surprised this channel hasn't skyrocketed yet. Keep up the good work !

[@SXSBlog]

We couldn't be more happy with our fans! Thanks man!

[@Yz4Life]

@@SXSBlog ohhhhh how the turns have timed eh😂

[@DUNEATV]

I miss Doug’s YXZ so much I watch old videos I’ve seen already!

[@hunterwunderlich1137]

I always come back and rewatch all old episodes. You all do great work.

[@rodcognito002]

I can't believe how oddly addicting this show is. LOL

[@BulletproofIndustries]

Just got my 2017 yxz se. This thing is noooooo joke!!! I love it!!

[@gixxerdan202]

Nicks impression of a limiter..lmao Good stuff right there!

[@codyriley2654]

[@SXSBlog]

Thanks Cody! I hope to have a steady feed of new videos every 2-3 days then live updates from our Glamis trip starting April 28th!

[@codyriley2654]

SXSBlog.com ok cool looking forward to it

[@connorwilson8696]

love going back and watchin the old vids the OG shit

[@foxracing16]

you guys are on a roll...thanks

[@Jord_45]

I was soo happy you said it correctly! I was just waiting for it haha. I need this exhaust...

[@MxSteve133]

It's because of this channel I am $17,000 poorer now.!

[@MrMoronification]

Awesome mod Doug! One video I haven't seen yet!

[@AllajchaSibir]

Wow, that sounds wicked!

[@bigdvids2720]

Daaaamn Doug back at it again with the extensions lol

[@roadkill-dc7oz]

enjoy the videos , cool to see the acutual time it takes to do some of mods you guys are doing, down here we have mud and water so we are set up totally different. Keep up the great work

[@SXSBlog]

Thanks man! one day we will play around with a mud build!

[@shirey414]

badass exhaust system for sure!!!

[@davidrecker9228]

Only full exhaust I like the sound of as much as my full Dasa Exhaust. It definitely wakens up the machine!

[@shirey414]

love the ending!

[@vinniemaxx1590]

GRATZ Doug that is so far gone from awesome!!! Super cool very few if any one has this in the real.

[@dougbutterfield5505]

Yeah I feel like I have a piece of rare artwork on the machine, lol. Thing is beautiful for sure.

[@kevinmcdonald1917]

I have a Akrapovic on my Ducati. Love it!

[@brandiehlinger232]

I watch all your videos

[@TypicalGuy84]

You should have grabbed the " offical" sxs garage scale and did a weight comparison. I like gear reviews :-) Keep the videos coming

[@drwinlied]

Traditionally I wait to give the thumbs up in any video until I legitimately laugh..."This Akrapovic exhaust is so clear." ...and there it is.

[@yari369]

Just bought this exhaust today 😂 I'm about 7 years behind but hey better late than never

[@trullmann]

the sounds totally cool! I'm new to the side-by-side world and I'm starting to shop for one and I have no idea what I'm looking for! LOL but this Yamaha is pretty slick!

[@Jeepboy]

Bro buy one it’s a sbs that’s banshee fast I have one and also ride a ec300 gasgas and my yxz is fast as hell like scary fast!!!!!and you get to smack gears !!!!!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@nitrocrew_]

WOW was gonna build my own exhaust but after hearing that thing my choice is made up awesome thanks again guys...

[@SXSBlog]

Nice choice Ed! It's seriously so sick. I am still excited about it and it's not even my machine lol

[@nitrocrew_]

Just bought the FTECU, like you reviewed, and did the Doug exhaust mod you guys are gonna break me LOL...

[@dougbutterfield5505]

It's important to use SXSBlog in moderation. Just be careful!

[@kong3]

Up all night again watching this. Gonna be shot tomorrow. Great vids.

[@SXSBlog]

Thanks! Don't forget to subscribe. That helps us out tremendously when we're trying to get our hand on sweet new stuff!

[@kevinmcdonald1917]

I have the Akrapovic exhaust on my Ducati Multistrada, absolutely the best!!

[@TheCuttingtorch]

"Honey put a sock in it! I gotta watch Douglas now!"

[@SXSBlog]

"you don't understand how the mullet speaks to me.."

[@ckddckdd]

WTF... as if you got all those exhaust springs on without at least one flying across the shop! Wow that sounds great!

[@andyleonardo8813]

I like that yxz 👍👍

[@jtalonrider4769]

bad ass dude

[@jhonedwarrendon7288]

I'm from Colombia, I really like your videos, I wish they had subtitles in Spanish, I still don't understand English very well

[@sharoncroom7918]

Great vid guys.. I'm planning on dusting off my yxz this month (it's been sitting in my garage untouched since purchase last year) was wondering if you guys could share your expertise with a couple questions First off I just picked up a rekluse clutch and planned on picking up the Barnett clutch kit- I've seen videos where the pressure plate from Barnett is left out- not sure why? Also would I not benefit from purchasing the clutch kit with the springs? Secondly which is more on site with the video.. I'm torn between the akrapovic and dasa exhaust systems. This is my first venture with a sxs, I come from a Yamaha banshee hence why the dasa has massive appeal to me however when it comes to exhaust for any machine if akrapovic makes one for it that's almost undeniably the best exhaust you can get. Help. Thanks for your time and keep up the great work!

[@kenneider5317]

will you still be able to turbo your yxz with that exhaust? great video!!!!

[@truthislost2039]

badass

[@kenmurray9332]

sounds awsome ,thanks for the video

[@dannynewman2790]

wow for people who hear it and not see it are going to think a street bike is blazing the trailer well done dough that's bad ass

[@dougbutterfield5505]

It sounds incredible! Awesome tone but not annoyingly loud.

[@dannywilliams2989]

The sound makes such a difference. I took my yxz with the dg dual exhaust to the local atv park and I swear I was a rock star for a day. Guess they don't get to many yxz's there. Had everyone waving, lots of questions, one woman stopped me on the trail to tell me it was "pretty". Yeah, it turns heads... :)

[@123devinzz1]

do a video with the quiet core/ spark arrestor removed.

[@SXSBlog]

Good call! maybe we'll play around with that at Glamis..

[@nela5596]

Please make a Dyno pull before and after, let's see if it really makes power.

[@extremeoffroad-snowmountai9084]

thanks for your

[@rickdavid1795]

I want that exhaust for my XYZ

[@rodrigojaimes4351]

cool video! feel free to join us Doug at Michigan Yxz Riders if you haven't yet

[@TroutButter]

So THAT'S how you say Akrapovic...LOL! Wow, I was WAAAAY off.

[@SXSBlog]

We'd be lying if we said we didn't have to rehearse it a few times... lol

[@connergreer9434]

Did you have to retune it after putting on the exhaust system

[@Jeepboy]

Is it stupid loud at low end or pleasant hard to tell in the video and would you buy it again I’m looking for a full system for my 21 xtr and does the programer come with

[@dannywilliams2989]

Thats pretty sweet. Great slo-mo. lol

[@SXSBlog]

We're learning to utilize it! It's a feature on our new partially fan sponsored camera! You're going to love it.

[@dannywilliams2989]

Did doug upgrade the tune to full exhaust system??

[@SXSBlog]

Yep, he's got the full system tune in it now!

[@dannywilliams2989]

Holy hell, I just looked that exhaust system up.... 2 grand??? Enjoy that thing, because your never going to see it on another yxz... Thats just insane..

[@thadaxtman4947]

that's a swweeeet exhaust, but I don't know if it will hang with the wildcat when the spider tires are applied

[@SXSBlog]

I assume they will gain tarantula-like strength when used in the dunes. I guess we'll see!!

[@dougbutterfield5505]

Spidernick, Spidernick Does whatever a spider can Spins the tires, all the time Catches air just like a fly Look out! Here comes the Spidernick. Is he fast? Listen bud He's got Arctic Cat blood Can he jump from a ramp Take a look overhead Hey, there There goes the Spidernick In the heat of the dunes At the scene of the crash Like some good potatoes His a-arms are mashed Spidernick, Spidernick Friendly side-by-side Spidernick Shocks and frame Are ignored Big air is his reward To him, life is a great big trail Wherever there is a big jump You'll find the Spider Nick

[@jerrodbragg408]

Check out the dasa exhausts for them

[@kevjengale]

Can you guys post the Part # for the exhaust you installed ;) Tried the link, couldn’t locate it?🤙🏽

[@gregbingham659]

My boss has one and its stuck in gear you have to manually shift it with a screwdriver what needs replaced

[@DeathSycthe02]

did you get new front plastics?? get rid of the windsheild holes?

[@SXSBlog]

Wow! Nice catch! We didn't document it but yeah Doug got the hookup from a friend of ours who went from yellow to white. All new plastics!!

[@DeathSycthe02]

Love watching, i bought a 2016 red and silver yxz last summer they are the best machines. Congrats on getting your wild cat back up know its time to join the darkside.... by the way All the videos are great! You guys should have done a upgrade the yxz cage video also! More More Yxz videos to.... hows your buddies blue one? Are you guys going to brace your yxz frame/shock tower/steering rack? Have you seen the cv boot guards or the rear mud flap mod? Also how did you guys mount the harness dragnfire kit? Also you guys havent all rallied the field in awhile i loved watching you burie the wildcat in the mud ice pit.

[@dougbutterfield5505]

Unfortunately I built the cage while Nick was on his honeymoon and he's the one with all the sick camera equipment, so nothing got filmed despite his repeated requests that I document everything.... my bad. We'll be doing some more YXZ cage work on Mike's machine sometime after Glamis, as well as a whole lot more riding.

[@alteredstateskustom]

sick exhaust dude! i wonder how many Doug pounds are lost over the 3 1/2 foot length of the extensions?

[@SXSBlog]

None. He automatically tunes the torque using an advanced algorithm embedded within his brain for all sorts of factors like extension length, air density, ratchet arm length, current blood alcohol level, etc etc.

[@alteredstateskustom]

SXSBlog.com I can't dispute those facts! I didn't consider the algorithm! Hahaha

[@SXSBlog]

Never underestimate a Doug.

[@alteredstateskustom]

Never again! It's always his whimsical "porn hair" that throws me!

[@jamesbarchetti5569]

SXSBlog.com hey guys I got a dr. D exhaust and I'm very happy with it I hope happy with yours

[@nathantrey9484]

Almost reminds me of a 2 stroke(smoker) on my Honda bike haha

[@TannerSmith84]

should have played some holy music as he opened it ... haha

[@SwellDrone]

Love akropovic on my FJ09. Please tell me you cleaned the hell out of it before you heated it up a few 3 times. That titanium is soooo perty.

[@SXSBlog]

It's unfortunately just covered in mud now, lol

[@ericlevik]

do You need to change the settings in the computer whit this exaust

[@SXSBlog]

Don't NEED to but it certainly helps. Check out www.FlashTune.com !

[@RSGPsycho]

I'm a little butt hurt... 😂 awesome exhaust; will look into when I decide to go full exhaust

[@SXSBlog]

If you decide on it Akrapovic has agreed to allow code SXSBLOG for a 0% discount!

[@ndubzfullthrottle9524]

just noticed u guys put those junk stocky wheels back lol. big horns are terrible. lol. trh out the mongrels. there pretty awesome but not super sweet in mud. great vid as always. south west chapter coming soon hahaha

[@SXSBlog]

Nice catch! This was for a different video coming soon!

[@dougbutterfield5505]

Lol man the big horns worked a TON better than the Bog-a-billys. I wish I could have kept them but they were just on loan for some testing...

[@ndubzfullthrottle9524]

Doug Butterfield lol try the mongrels if u can they're a great. tire. not horrible in mud. but u know these machines sre built to haul ass and take names.

[@davidgooding2940]

Doug if you had it to do over again would you buy a yxz again

[@SXSBlog]

Absolutely, it has been an excellent machine and a ton of fun for "cheap"

[@waynevalorpi2541]

How much hp with added tune

[@Holgrinator]

I know it's super subjective... But what would you say is the best all around side by side? trails, dunes, desert, rock crawling... xp1k(non-turbo), wildcat 1000 X, or YXZ?

[@SXSBlog]

They all have their strong points, but the XP1K is the most popular for a reason. There just isn't anything they suck at.

[@Holgrinator]

Awesome. that's what I figured. I've only had the opportunity to drive a 900xp, a wildcat limited, and a wildcat x so far. want to buy a SXS but still trying to narrow down which one. the new 220hp wildcat XX looks pretty cool too.

[@SXSBlog]

We can tell you that an xp900 drives NOTHING like an XP1K. Totally different animals, so keep that in mind.

[@Holgrinator]

thanks for the heads up. I need to get some seat time in an xp1k.

[@mckrackin5324]

Sounds like a small Indy Car. lol

[@ndubzfullthrottle9524]

if you guys dont mind send me a message on ur opinion on this bD boy. lookin at the graves exhuast with flash tune. drove one with it and its a rocket and not to loud. #yxz

[@garyroberts7257]

also noticed the rock a billy tires r gone

[@SXSBlog]

Temporarily. Unfortunately lol.

[@garyroberts7257]

awesome video as with all of them I have a 17 yxz SS SE and live in Indiana went with sport shift because of the tighter wooded trails around here woulda been alot of pedal work with the regular one

[@loganfrahlich9085]

You still have that ? Willing to sell

[@qtrmilemalone]

that's some sexy pipe you got there, Doug.

[@joeburtnick1369]

so when are you going to put some performance mods on the wildcat? doug would be mad if you were faster than him😂

[@SXSBlog]

Hahhaha I don't think he has much to worry about. We're pretty much done with go-fast parts on the Wildcat mostly due to the fact I still feel like it's going to explode every time I go full throttle. If it lasts through the trip I may have some more things in store...

[@njorgnjorg6057]

SXSBlog.com I hope some day nick would be able to swing for the new wildcat xx. They thing is going to be nuts. Then we'll see who's faster then who. Lol. Keep up the good work guys I really enjoy watching your vids being a sxs guy myself.

[@lanetanzey5031]

I hope that wasn’t cold

[@lunikgjata5675]

hey guys whats up i wamt to buy a utv bevause im 15 have a raptor 700 and crashed very badly and my dad said i will only buy utv now and watched the polaris rzr 1000 and the can am amverick and they say that have very probs so do these yamis have any probs

[@lunikgjata5675]

thanks

[@SXSBlog]

The Yamaha is tough!

[@lunikgjata5675]

di they have any probs and if you buy an exhayst should you retune it

[@MarkCarr331]

So is the Akropovic better than the Graves? both are Titanium and i'm on the fence because of this dam video.

[@SXSBlog]

Man I have a strange feeling that the Graves is just a toned down version of the Akrapovic made by Akrapovic. The styling, design, and welds are very very similar. I can't speak for the muffler but the headpipe looks exactly the same but without the crossovers.

[@dougbutterfield5505]

Let your wallet do the talking....can't go wrong with either

[@stevepessy]

Graves exhaust is made here in USA. It was designed, tested and tuned here in Van Nuys Ca.

[@tree18is]

these engines are louder than two skeletons fucking on a tin roof.

[@SXSBlog]

things make sound lol

[@davidgooding2940]

I'm getting ready to buy one 1000R ss orange and black for 16998 19998 out the door you think it's a good price

[@Zexq8]

the best exhaust for the yxz is dasa

[@Chinese_Chicken]

Adbullah, you spelled Trinity wrong

[@DieselRC]

How much was it?

[@SXSBlog]

SXSBlog cost: $0. Regularly available online for $2000ish

[@m.wilson2624]

Sounds good. DASA sounds better in my opinion.

[@kylenphillips3821]

$2,000 pipe on a $15,000 machine? I wanna work where the mullet God does lmao

[@dougbutterfield5505]

This hobby isn't really built on the idea of financial responsibility. lol

[@kylenphillips3821]

+Doug Butterfield the goldy locks is what funds your hobby isn't it? Damn gotta get me a nice wavy mullet and a Busch light and just gotta send it!!!!!! Can't wait to see yalls trip and if your ever in new Mexico get out while ya can! Diggin the build and mods keep them coming! Gotta get a nice Dougulator for the ft lbs of trq and yall can get your nice snug nuts🤘

[@SXSBlog]

Dougulator? Holy F YES LOL

[@kylenphillips3821]

SXSBlog.com patent the sob and bam wild cats great again!

[@SXSBlog]

Now someone finally gets it!

[@offroad5551]

Couple thousand dollars later

[@herbjackson1442]

Wipe that Ti with WD 40 before you fire up the motor. Keeps the oils from your hands from burning into the Ti. Unless you like finger print marks in the finish! The 😉

[@SXSBlog]

Unfortunately it's all just caked on mud now anyways...lol

[@chriscardoza9714]

I'm a FMF guy my self ..

[@coreyfrasnelly7364]

If Carrie Underwood was an exhaust

[@ROTAXD]

Nice...but 2 grand is a bit much for an exhaust.

[@SXSBlog]

There are certainly cheaper exhaust but you get what you pay for with Akrapovic. Absolute top notch quality!

[@ROTAXD]

SXSBlog.com agreed that there are cheaper pipes out there. I'd still whine about paying 2 grand for one though lol. If you're happy with it I guess that's all that matters. How's the snow situation been for you guys ? Temps here (just north of Syracuse) have been all over the place.

[@jangrcar1133]

haha akrapović slovenija zakon(slovenia is the best)

[@michi_danksta]

Definitely not a big ole fart can like the big slug polaris. I hate the sound of the polaris compared to all the other manufacturers.

[@billcharlene1450]

Well i learned its not pronounced akrapovick

[@SXSBlog]

I think we've all learned that recently lololol

[@danhenderson783]

Titanium exhaust, saves a few pounds and costs a fortune. What's the point again?

[@SXSBlog]

Same as buying a man sized go kart that costs a fortune in the first place... because it's fun and cool.
