'03 700: Will it still be dependable (think:crank) if I add SLP pipe,can & intake?

Hi all,

Just bought a low mile '03 700 Edge RMK 151" with electric start and reverse for my girlfriend.

She has outgrown her '96 XLT RMK.

I am seriously considering adding a single SLP pipe and can along with the complete $129 intake kit to make it breathe better than stock.

My entire reason for buying a 700 was to avoid crank issues...so my question is this:

If I add just the above mentioned items, will it shorten the crank life and or other dependability?

I know these sleds have a really good reputation for being really reliable, so I dont want to jeapordize that.

Opinions please?

Thanks,
Vince

Not at all, the SLP single pipe is the way to go!

Any time you increase power, you add a little stress to the engine components. The 700's have a pretty good history of durability, though, and the crank failures usually happen, if at all, at 4,000 plus miles.

A woman driving slightly less aggressively can't hurt. Those are great sleds and motors.

those are strong motors, my wife has one, I put a slp single, air horn, and geared it down 19/43. the sled rocks.

X2, plus a slp head on my gf's 04 700. Great sled pull and go from day one.

SLP is good stuff. 4600 miles on our 02 700, still runs great! Follow the SLP jetting and clutching guides! You will like it. :face-icon-small-hap

SLP upgrade recommended! I have over 6K on my SLP upgrades. Put on the SLP Performance Package: Big Airhorn Intake, Pipe, Silencer, Cheater Heads, Engine Torque Arms, Exhaust Valve Springs. Very big power difference from stock. You'll love it. No crank issues at all.
