I don't think that any of the pipes are worth what they cost.
from my person experience i have to disagree with this. of course i got a decent deal on a slp pipe w/ pc5 for 800, so not as expensive as brand new, but noticed a significant gain. i was actually pleasantly surprised b/c i noticed a much larger gain on the pro than i did when i put a pipe on my 09 dragon. everyone talked abut how much of a difference a pipe made on a dragon but i just didn't see it. it ran a little better but couldn't even add any weight to the clutches. on the pro i had to add two grams and i'm still pulling more rpm than before. keeping in mind, this is at low elevation 0 to maybe 5000 feet. not sure how much of an effect that has.
as far as upgrading the shocks, i agree 100% with clarke. pretty much a necessity if you ride hard at all. even after having them re-valved twice by carl's (which did help some) they still bottom super easy (rmk shocks not assault). going to try holz setup this year.
