Arctic Cat / Textron Wildcat Trail Exhaust
Arctic Cat & Textron Wildcat Trail Exhaust Systems – Performance, Sound, and Trail-Ready Durability
The Arctic Cat Wildcat Trail — later branded under Textron Off Road — has earned a strong following for its lightweight chassis, responsive power delivery, and narrow stance designed for 50-inch trail systems. But as every Wildcat Trail owner quickly learns, one of the easiest and most rewarding upgrades for this machine is a better exhaust system. Whether you’re chasing more horsepower, a deeper exhaust tone, or a replacement for a worn-out factory muffler, upgrading your Wildcat Trail exhaust transforms the way your UTV performs on the trail.
Here at Side by Side Sports, we carry a curated selection of exhaust systems for the Arctic Cat Wildcat Trail that deliver real improvements in sound, airflow, throttle response, and long-term durability. Unlike generic exhaust categories, every system here is specifically engineered for the Wildcat Trail platform — ensuring proper fitment, ideal backpressure, and the performance gains riders expect. Whether you prefer a simple slip-on muffler for a quick sound upgrade or a full exhaust system designed to maximize airflow, our selection covers every riding style.
Why Upgrade Your Wildcat Trail Exhaust?
Improved Airflow & Horsepower
A stock exhaust restricts airflow to meet noise and emissions limits. Aftermarket Wildcat Trail exhaust systems open up the engine’s breathing potential, resulting in:
-
Faster throttle response
-
Stronger acceleration
-
Improved high-RPM performance
-
Cooler engine temperatures on long climbs
These benefits are especially noticeable when paired with other performance upgrades like an intake, tuner, or clutch kit.
Better Sound Without Excessive Noise
Most riders want a deeper, more aggressive exhaust tone — but not something painfully loud. Quality slip-on and full systems for the Wildcat Trail are engineered to enhance tone while staying trail-friendly. Whether you prefer a subtle rumble or a performance growl, you’ll find options that strike the perfect balance.
Reduced Weight
Aftermarket exhausts often weigh significantly less than the bulky factory system. This weight savings helps improve throttle response and overall handling, especially on tight trails where the Wildcat Trail shines.
Superior Materials & Durability
The Wildcat Trail is known for spirited riding, rocky climbs, and tree-lined paths — all environments that can stress a stock muffler. Upgraded exhausts use materials like:
-
Stainless steel
-
Aluminum
-
Ceramic-coated components
These materials resist rust, vibration, and heat damage far better than OEM parts.
Slip-On vs. Full Exhaust Systems
Slip-On Exhausts
Slip-on kits replace only the muffler. They’re ideal for riders who want:
-
A more aggressive exhaust tone
-
A simple, affordable upgrade
-
A quick install with no tuning required
This is the most popular Wildcat Trail exhaust style.
Full Exhaust Systems
Full systems replace the entire exhaust path for maximum gains. They offer:
-
The largest horsepower improvements
-
Optimized flow from header to outlet
-
Reduced heat buildup
-
The best long-term durability
Full systems pair extremely well with tuners and clutch upgrades.
Fitment for Arctic Cat & Textron Wildcat Trail Models (2014+)
All exhaust systems in this category are designed to fit:
-
Arctic Cat Wildcat Trail
-
Textron Off Road Wildcat Trail
Since the chassis and engine platform remained consistent through the branding change, all exhaust kits cross-fit seamlessly between Arctic Cat and Textron years.
Choosing the Right Exhaust for Your Riding Style
Trail Riders
Look for quieter slip-on systems with spark arrestors to stay compliant on USFS-managed trails.
Performance-Focused Riders
Full exhaust systems with increased flow offer the biggest power gains when climbing, racing, or riding sand.
Replacement Needs
If your stock Wildcat muffler has cracked, rusted, or failed, we offer direct-fit replacements built to outlast OEM parts.
