Abstract: An exhaust system for a snowmobile includes a muffler housing, the bottom end of the muffler housing including a muffler exhaust outlet configured to emit exhaust. The exhaust system includes a muffler housing cover spaced from the muffler housing to define an airflow channel therebetween, the muffler housing cover forming a bottom opening. The exhaust system also includes a gas combiner at least partially surrounding the muffler exhaust outlet on the bottom end of the muffler housing and extending through the bottom opening of the muffler housing cover. The gas combiner receives air from the airflow channel and the exhaust from the muffler exhaust outlet to emit a combined air-exhaust stream.

Abstract: A drive track system for a snowmobile includes a slide rail having a forward section and an aft section. The aft section of the slide rail has a monolithic construction and defines an aftmost wheel station, a second-to-aftmost wheel station forward of the aftmost wheel station and a clearance notch that is at least partially disposed between the aftmost wheel station and the second-to-aftmost wheel station in a longitudinal direction of the slide rail. An aftmost wheel is rotatably coupled to the slide rail at the aftmost wheel station. A second-to-aftmost wheel is rotatably coupled to the slide rail at the second-to-aftmost wheel station. A drive track has a path of travel between the aftmost wheel and the second-to-aftmost wheel such that the drive track and the slide rail form a gap therebetween at the path of travel.
