Spiced Wafer · Sep 29, 2011

did you like it?

was it worth it?

I'll bump this for you as I too would like to get some first hand feedback.

The only thing I've been told is if you plan to do a turbo don't go the SLP route.

If there's no turbo in your future I don't see how you can go wrong with a 9hp gain and 18lb loss. (Going off memory on those #'s but I know I'm close)

refresh my memory, whats a stage II kit consist of.

Copied from SLP site:

This stage combines an SLP Single Pipe Set, High Flow™ Intake Kit, Power Commander V, and an SLP Clutch Kit for greater performance, lighter weight, and maximum horsepower transfer to the ground. Experience an additional 8.9 horsepower, 18.5 lbs lighter weight and super throttle response.

Price tag says $1309.70

I have the SLP pipe set (on my 09) and it really is a nice unit. One of the most noticeable charatoristics of the system is the weight off the nose of the sled.

also very interested in this set up. wondering if it is compatible with nitrous also.

I was looking at it too but 1300 for 9hp doesnt seem worth it to me, and the 2010s run so well stock anyway, JMO

9 hp dosnt sound signifigant but with a 19 lb weight savings its a deadly combo

Braaap12 · Oct 10, 2011

I`m guessing most of the weight savings comes from the can...

Stack · Oct 13, 2011

The majority of the weight savings is from the can like stated above. Those with the SLP on the 2010-2011 M8 seem to really like them. The weight savings in conjuntion with the HP gain make it a good mod. I would also check out the single pipes from D&D, Mountain Master Pipe.

I've been eyeing that pipe from D&D D&D said you dont need a fuel controller so that has me a little hesitant. Also it said the pipe has a small centre to build heat for throttle response?? I thought heat was bad?

WyoBoy1000 · Oct 13, 2011

Depends on different factors when talking heat, but from my experience of riding from 3000-12000ft slp has been the most reliable performer. If you where to ride one compared to a stocker you would want it.
If you can tune add a bdx intake and loose a lot more weight and you will be very happy.

I have the stage 2 kit on my sled and it works great. You do have to shim the spider wich to run there weights and you have to run octane booster depending on elevation or race fuel. The change is noticeable not only in performance but the weight savings. Its also noticeably cleaner.

Braaap12 · Oct 14, 2011

/i'm personally leaning toward the d&d set up, I dont want to run a fuel box

Spiced Wafer · Oct 18, 2011

thanks for the reply's...

new thought...

stage 1 which is a different can, air intake and some different clutching, not really a horsepower gain, but a weight drop of 13 lbs and add a different track?

or just do the whole stage 2 set up? and leave the stock track?

Get MDS weights and get better performance with the option to change weight quickly, slp could of made there weights to fit and made them so you have to change things costing more money, pi$$es me off. I modified mine so they would fit but I like the MDS better.

The SLP is the better performer unless you are under 3000ft then I can't say from experience, and I wouldn't trust it anyway without a fuel box.

My SLP riding 0-2500ft works awesome. I ran it for the first 500 miles without a controller and it was flawless. Lots of midrange power and the weight reduction was very noticeable. I run a controller now for piece of mind and addition of other mods. But I had no issues below 3000ft.

Sorry, 2009 800

WyoBoy1000 · Oct 19, 2011

Big difference there, I was going to say you where crazy running a slp at that elevation without a controller.
