first off hello to all that attemts to help me out

WHAT I HAVE

100% working 1973 arctic cat cheetah 440 orginal everything no rips or marks on the outside however on the inside i have a Y pipe for the exhaust that it broken completly off this gave me the idea of putting on twin pipes instead to gain a tinny bit more power after all you can never have enough right? from there a friend said you should get a turbo or something for it then that got me thinking is it even possible to have a turbo on a old 73 440, and last but not least i know that they have flame throwers for cars and was wondering if that could be a possible addon to a twin pipe exhaust i myself am not a sled head just a rider for fun so i have really no idea if its possible at all and if it is where to start thats why i decided to ask you guys the PROS out there for some help,

WHAT IM LOOKING FOR
1. so is there a known twin pipe that will fit a 73 cheetah 440 instead of a single pipe that i have
2. also wondering if there is a turbo from something that you could somehow migrate/use on a old 73 440 cheetah
3. if there is a known way to add flamethrowers on a sled as there is to a car?

i no all this may sound kinda crazy for a old 440 but i have always wanted to make something crazy that know one else has and this listed above my freind i have never ever seen on a sled before
thanks for all who can help me and hi to those like myself that can't

cheers all

Dont think you are going to find a twin pipe for that motor! I have a 73 also, and i've never seen any. Something this old wouldnt run well with twin pipes anyhow. Turbo?? on a 2 stroke? Never seen it, would not be easy, especially with a carb setup. If it starts every time and runs good that is a miracle in itself! Dont mess with it!

With a 2-stroke, your "exhaust" is opening at the same time as your "intake" is opening. Thus, when you are trying to force all that turbo-charged mix into the chamber, it's likely going to get forced right out while the exhaust is still open. You could tune pipes to build backpressure, but you still won't gain a wide power band for your engine, which is the goal in the first place.

My advice:
Find a stock y-pipe. You have an overall decent original vintage sled, go have some fun with it. The flame throwers sound like a fun idea... definitely get some heads turning at the shows! If you want big power and a technological monster, that old 440 probably won't get you there.

Repo EXT pipes you could make work $400 plus some porting and clutching and carb work If you want flamthrower pipes you have to get the exhaust out of the bellypan. They have repo montana pipes that run down the side. Very dooable drawback is cost pipes are over $600 solinoids and feeds switches easiely another $100. They turbo 2 strokes all the time $3000 plus. Flamethrower would be your best bet for something different
