Re: Help me choose new exhaust!

Well, I installed a Ceramic Tri-Mil Bobcat with the quiet muffler. Easy install and top quality; sounds great too. I did have to remove the small hitch portion of the bumper.

Help me choose new exhaust!

I just purchased this buggy and do not like the Cherry Bomb exhaust. I'd like a single muffler "quiet" that would work well on a 1600 DP. I posted a picture of the bumper/rack because it has a hitch sleeve that may be a space issue. If possible, I'd like to keep the bumper. Also thinking T...

Re: Newbie Buggy shopping

Almost a year has passed; we prioritized buying a house before a buggy. Until today, I picked up this running project at a good price. I know it's not a Manx but the goal is to have fun and not go broke doing so. Can anyone tell me the body manufacture? Under the back seat it has the battery well an...

Re: Newbie Buggy shopping

Thanks for all the info. I've now been in a few different buggies and they have been much better. I am hooked...I'm in no hurry and when the right buggy comes along I will know what to expect.

Re: Newbie Buggy shopping

I agree with all comments; at $5000 I do not expect a project front to back top to bottom. I will be looking at another buggy next weekend, hope it goes well since it's a real Manx. I'm in Southern California and feel it shouldn't be too difficult to find what I'm looking for. Are there any Manx mee...

Re: Newbie Buggy shopping

Thanks for the tips; lower tire pressure makes sence. For the car I drove, I don't think it would have helped. The tires were so old they had painted the side walls black. Pictures made the buggy look great, that actual car was awful. I assume any other buggy will now feel much better. I will keep h...

Newbie Buggy shopping

So I test drove my fist buggy yesterday and was not impressed. The front end was loose (wheel bearings & tie rods) also had Bilstein gas shocks. The ride was so rough that driving down the street wasn't enjoyable. Felt as if there was a sold bar in place of the shocks. Needless to say, I didn't ...

Re: Looking to buy our first Buggy (Real Manx)

I decided not to look at this buggy; too many unknowns and I'm not knowledgable enough to make the call. I feel better buying one that has been authenticated or save some money and buy a non Manx buggy and just have fun with it...

New to the forum and this will be my first post. My wife and I will be searching for our first buggy, we would like to purchase a real Manx. I have read the information on how to identify a real Manx but feel it is possible to end up with a clone. I'm looking at a Manx that has the front and back e...
