Single Pipes

[Falcon1772]

Well long story short I smacked a tree. Looked like I'll be needing a new single pipe, I figure I may as well replace it with an aftermarket one. It's an insurance deal so I'll only be paying the difference over a stock pipe.
What I want is one that works as reliably as stock but with more power. I don't want to deal with erratic RPMS, check engine lights tuners, timing or anything like that. I just want to drop in the pipe/y pipe and go. I have a clutch kit that I can tune to the power gain.

Seems like theres only about 4 choices, SLP, Jaws, and Bikeman, and Dynoport. Which of these fits what I want?

I put the SLP on my 19. More power but it puts out a crazy amount of heat. Even with all the heat tape they supplied for the installation and the vent kit I have melted the plastic in the nose cone on the inside and melted holes in the powder screen on the nose cone. I like the power but don't think I would buy another.

Jaw pipe/y-pipe combo!

I have had 2 SLP pipes on 850 Etec and had no problems of any kind. Make great power you can really feel the difference!

+1 on avoiding SLP on the Gen4, melted nose cone and 2 sets of steering boots.

this sled likes a heat shield on the pipe

Usually the oem pipe is the most expensive.

You should be covered for aftermarket $

Just got back from 5 days riding Cooke city on my Hi elevation jaws/powderfreaks setup with shr clutching. This on a 165 expert and have to say it rips to say the least. After figuring out weight on clutching the first day I never touched it the rest of the trip. I’m coming off of 9 years of turbos and don’t miss them one bit. Was riding with a new turbo doo as well for 2 days and there isn’t as big of a difference as one would think. If they bump up the hp I would think about it but for now this setup rips!!

What elevation was you riding. I rode with a new Doo at 10,000 ft and got my but handed too me ?

8-10000 feet. It was really working good with this combo. Fresh snow depth of 2-3 ft

You running straight pump gas? Or mixing?

 

[yamiman]

91 with an oz of of race gas concentrate per gallon to be safe but probably not needed. Very happy with this setup

Since you are adding a little race gas to this setup that means you could run a new turbo with a mild tune(When they have those) with some race gas too and bring that power difference back to 40 or more hp than the jaws/head combo....
Don't get me wrong i LOVE the sound of this setup. But since this voids the warranty and adds race gas you would need to compare that to the new turbo with a tune and some race gas...

Totally agree with you, I had all of this done before I knew the turbo was coming out otherwise I would have had the turbo.

Agreed, buy a stock muffler, trade or sell it and get the 850T, real power without any of the mess. It really is that good, linear and smooth power delivery.
