Just for shiats and giggles... is there another manifold that will fit this motor for duels?.....

The manifold off of the '76-78 Liquifire bolts right up to the reed valve fan motors.

Thats a good buy for the lf intake now look for a pipe and muffler for a 1975 x8 or an 800 model these have a tuned pipe with a small canister muffler and have the same motor. This is no big deal to swap you will just have to relocate the exhaust exit.

If you got 3 38s with wires they probably came from a zrt 600 so figuring 200cc per cylinder your jetting may be pretty close if you go with the dual setup.

Do you know right off what type of HP gain you would get from a tuned pipe?... would it be worth the money?.... I will keep an eye out... if i can get it cheap enough!!!.....

You should get around 4-6 hp increase with the pipe,it doesn't seem like much but on a 2 stroke it is alot of power. Plus it sounds alot cooler than the log type muffler on the older sleds.....you can really hear it ping through the exhaust like a 2 stroke should.

Guess i will have to try a junk yard... as i dont see any on ebay!.... you know of any good places to look?... the muffler i took off the jdx (mine) today had holes in it... and it was just the normal one that went on it.. it is a 73 model.....

Guessing that running straight pipes on a sled is not a good idea... so i will have to find something.. but i have till next winter till i have it all ready to go!

after thinking about it... i think i will go the duel carb route... hell i have all i need right there....anything for an extra hp or 2!....

Good luck on that pipe, they turn up on ebay once in a while but the prices are going up. A friend of my just found the pipe about a month ago a JD dealership around Madison,WI,but not the silencer,or the correct Y-pipe. I'd show you what mine looks like but can't figure out how to post pics out here!!!!

JDX-8 - those pipes show up for sale regularly, but the exhaust manifold will be the hard part. I've been watching for one for a while because mine is chewed up. I've only ever seen one on ebay, and I let someone else from the site get it, because they needed it more.
