    hey I cant seem to figure out how to post pics anymore. I did it once but cant do it again. Do you have to have one of those photo sharing accounts like photo bucket now?

    i stuck with the 12 inch wheels and got 27-10-12 all the way around. The tires i got were Kenda Executioners, on ITP Steel wheels, i had no reason to get fancy wheels, they are just going to end up trashed in the mudd. and the tires were a lot cheaper than most, and the reviews are awesome. I wanted 28's but the place i order from didn't have 28" tires in what i wanted. and kenda only makes 27" executioners.

    Alright yeah ill make sure i get a sound clip, idk that it does it justice without in person, cause i have listened to them on youtube and its better in person. Its not too obnoxious like its a good deep barrel tone that like as you go faster obviously it gets louder, but at idle and just puttsin around its not bad. it hits pretty hard so idk, i mean if you were cruzin pretty fast idk if you could hear your audio tube or not, but i can already notice a power gain. I also ordered new tires and wheels i just kinda bit the bullet and ordered everything at once. everything thats available. but like i said i will try to get a sound clip asap

    So my Swamp XL Series Exhaust arrived this morning. I put it on after i got out of work tonight. Installation took about an hour and a half. The biggest battle was getting the old pipe off. Once you get the old pipe off its super easy to get the new one HMF on. You do not need a fuel optimizer if you leave the air box in tact. Also some other things i noticed were the pipe smokes a bit not only out the back but the metal itself. prob cause it was brand spankin new. The quad also choked a little bit and stalled out a few times, i took it up and down the road a few times and it got all situated. But when i started it the sound of the machine gave me goose bumps. I LOVE IT!!! ITS AMAZING AND SOUND IS EXTREMELY TRANSFORMED. you will not be disapointed. Also go on ebay and order it from my buddy at South Side Honda. You will save a lot of money. like i said i only paid 329 shipping and tax included. but would of spent 400 at hmfracing.com you WONT BE DISSAPOINTED!!!

    The pipe should be here very soon. I actually ordered it from HMF but then something happened within the transaction that faulted the sale. So i actually found a dealer on Ebay that has them also. I called him and he notified me that he gets them from HMF but sells them much cheaper. I just ordered it tonight. From HMF with shipping and tax the pipe came to about 400 dollars. By ordering it from the add on Ebay which is Southside honda in LA i only paid 329 dollars and that included free shipping. I will be getting it very soon and will def post some pictures after it is installed. i will let you know how i like it. im very excited about it. check out ebay. i typed in swamp xl honda foreman. and it came up. it has a picture that is out dated but he gets them direct and they are brand new for the 2012 models

    For sure, It takes 7 to 10 days for them to build the pipes. on the site it says that each one is built to order. so that plus the shipping could take possibly 15 or 20 days to receive after order placement. if you go to HMF Racing you can look up the pipes and you can download a sound bite and it gives you a sound clip of each of the pipes available so you can see what it will sound like on your machine. its pretty cool, check it out!!

    Hey man i just ordered the Swamp XL Series from HMF. you dont need to get the optimizer unless you modify the air box but im still going to get the fuel optimizer so that it will be maximized. I also plan to order the K&N filter to go along with the pipe but they dont have it out yet for the 2012 500 foreman. but i think that it looks the same and everything for the years previous all the way back. so i may just order the filter eventhough its still for the 2011 instead of the 2012

    Thanks for the imput, i contacted a few places such as rockymountainatv, and denniskirk and they said that the parts for the 2012 models will be out in march so hopefully because im excited to get this quad transformed. I have contacted a local dealer where i purchased the wheeler and they can order things probably becuase they are a dealer. but thank you for your imput it helps every little bit!

    Hey Hmccall4, and ssp, i bought my 2012 Foreman 500FE in august. I wanna get some bigger tires and i wasn't sure how big of a tire i could go without a lift kit. I hear that its not the best idea to have a lift kit but i love the look of big tires and a lifted machine. i think it just sets it off right. I do a lot of mud riding and mud holes ect. I was looking into the ITP Muddlite XL tires, also because i do some riding on harder surfaces not just in muddd, i wanted to get the 28 inch with 14 inch wheels. i wanna have 28-12-14 out back and 28-10-14 up front. Also i wasn't sure what kind of clutch kit to look into because the bigger tires and wheels i would prob need a clutch kit. I am looking into a Swamp XL Exhaust too because i want something that has a real agressive sound that offers power. I really wanna transform my machine and would really appreciate any and all imput!! Thanks so much guys!!
