Okay guys, I'm really glad you are all so excited for the 850 Patriot and what we at SLP are working on for it. There is some mis-information being spread around (and some may have even come from here) that I'm going to address.
1) Single Pipe: SLP will have a single pipe for the 850, but this early in the development cycle makes it impossible to nail down a date. One thing I can say is that when we release it, it will be really good. We are currently taking pre-orders for this, as when they come available they will be shipping in the order that they were placed (first in, first out). They are priced at $749.95. If you are interested in a single, get your order in to insure your place in line.
2) Twin Pipes: SLP will have twin pipes available for the 850. With the new advances in OEM technology as well as some new tricks up our sleeve, these twins are showing incredible gains both on bottom as well as on top. With an extremely broad horsepower and torque curve at peak power, coupled with significant bottom end gains, these are not your grandpa’s twin pipes. Technology is allowing us to do things we never were able to do before.
They utilize a unique glass pack design with a sound level that we expect will pass the stationary sound test. When at wide open throttle with the exhaust valves open they will be louder than stock, with a similar sound level to our "Competition Series Silencers", but not mind blowing loud like some of the other silencers you have seen on the market from our competitors.
Fuel mapping changes and clutching changes will be required.
They will first be available at high elevation as the snow will be there first and that gives us the opportunity to perfect the clutching and fuel mapping there (above 4700'). We plan to expand into the lower elevations as snow conditions allow for further testing there.
As far as pricing goes, it has not been established yet and will not be until we get closer to the completion of the project, so that we can know what our costs are going to be. We will keep this as cost effective as possible and horsepower per dollar spent is going to be really good on this one.
As for horsepower, we have not released numbers yet as we are still in development, but I can say that you are going to be impressed. This 850 is responding well to these twin pipes and it's going to be fast!
Availability based on what we know right now will be around the first of the year (January 1, 2019). This date could move up or back based on how things go with this project.
If you are interested in a set, place an order with us. They will be shipped in the order that they are placed. There is no cost to place an order to insure your place in line, as we won't charge you until they ship.
3) We already have a number of products that are currently available for the 850 Patriot.
Standard Lightweight Silencer - Saves 7.7 pounds of weight
PicNic'R style Lightweight Silencer - Saves 7.1 pounds of weight
Competition Series Ultra Lite Silencer - Saves 9.3 pounds of weight
Power Shift Clutch Kits with SLP Magnum Force Weights
Hot Air Elimination Chassis Vent Kits
High Flow Air Intake Kit
Mohawk, Powder Pro and Straight Line Tracking Skis
Heavy Duty Ice Scratchers
Powder Valve kits
4) We are also working on a Torque Arm, Stage Tuning Kits and Power Dome Billet Heads that we expect to be available this snow season.
We will try to keep you informed as our development on product for this new 850 Partiot engine progresses. If you have questions, don’t hesitate to call.
Thanks,
