I need some honest opinions on what pipe to go with. If I install an aftermarket pipe, am I going to sacrifice reliability? I can get a new SLP pipe for my 2006 RMK 900 for a great deal, but the modification to the ecu scares me. Should I be scared? I want the extra ponies just to want to sacrifice my motor which has been reliable so far.
Honest Opinion on Pipe?

Imo none, ecu mod is proven and the reliability is that it will turn a bit higher rpms and you will probably ride it harder.
^^2nd that. No problems with SLP at all. Most cost effective mod you can do.
My dynoport has worked out great. Dynoport is also van extremely good company for costumer support.

The problem with spinning your engine faster is that the forces on you crank if your clutch is not perfectly balanced increase exponentially as RPM increases. The stock 05 crank will last a long time but if you put an SLP on it they snap all the time. If you are going to run the SLP than it should be considered mandatory to check your crank runnout before and if it is out of spec replace your crank. It should also be considered mandatory to send your clutch to IndyDan and have it completely gone through and professionally balanced first so you don't damage your crank from the additional forces you will be subjecting it to.
Checking crank runout is important. I always tru and weld my cranks when I have them out. My T975 stock crank with tripple pto bearings and the thrust ringed bearing moved to the pto end of crank. I've been spinning mine 7800 for years.
do the SLP pipe and flash, you will be VERY happy..
