POLARIS ACE EXHAUST CRACKS

POLARIS ACE EXHAUST CRACKS

Dear Sarge,

I had a chance to purchase a 2014 Polaris 325 Ace for my son. The owner had wrapped a piece of tin and hose clamps around the exhaust pipe because there was a crack in the header. The hot exhaust had partially melted the seat. I inquired about the cob job . repair and the owner indignantly replied “that they all did it”. I chose to walk away from this “deal” and we were wondering if we purchased a new 325 ace if we will have the same problem and if so, can we just purchase an aftermarket exhaust to “cure” the Polaris Ace exhaust cracks?

Private Greengrass, there are no current model year 325 Aces. They were only produced during the 2014 – ‘16 model years. That aside, there is currently a Polaris recall on the 325 Aces for their cracking headers. So Boot, it is up to you if you want to purchase that 2014 Zooter and then call Polaris at 800-765-2747 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. CT Monday through Friday and ask to be included in the recall, or look for another 325 or step up to the 500 for less money than the 325 cost new! You can now do 50 Boot for not doing your recon on the header problem. Dismissed!
