I am on my second can, first was a cpi can and it basicly blew up after the first reflash on my 09. had it reflashed again after 1 ride and has ran great. went to move it and opened the hood to check the muff pot so I don't have surprises next winter and find my slp can is cracking. anybody else having this issue or is it just me.

I've had a SLP pipe and can on my 07 D7 since the 07/08 season without any splitting. Actually I'm amazed at how well it is holding up, no rust and even the ceramic coating still looks great.

I had the inlet tube on my SLP can (on a 08 D8) crack in February. I called SLP, they asked for pics, I sent them pics and I had a new SLP can on my doorstep in a day and a half. Great customer service!

that is where mine is cracked also. I hate to spend money on the stock sled when I can put the money in the turbo sled. I will try that

cracked inlet pipe

I had the inlet pipe of the stock muffler crack all the way around, and about 1/2" ring completely separate. Took this oportunity to replace it with an SLP pipe (nice ceramic coating). The instructions for the new can said to spread a bead of high-temp silicone around the inlet pipe for 2 reasons. First, to help seal the joint really well. And second, to provide a cushion to prevent metal-to-metal rubbing (from all the vibration). I believe that is what caused the previous inlet tube to wear so thin that it eventually failed (cracked).

it was the first thing I looked at. I may have something going on and will have to figure it out. I have seen one of the bolts break on a turbo dragon

slp came through and sent me a new can I am not sure when it cracked. I have not had any other issues with my dragon. it is my wifes now and she rode it on the last ride of the season so I can blame it on her. I am going to go through and check the other motor mounts. the bolt is not broken I know that for sure
