No. The SLP pipes (and the the ECM reflash) work just fine, actually work great. Don't know where you heard that one but you can squash that right now. You would have to go back to a stock flashed ECM if you did go with the stock pipe.....

Sweet sounds good thanks for you input can you switch cans for diferent sound with out worrying about ecm flashes with miss matched pipe/can

 

[dktraw]

yes, you can put different cans on it without changing anything else.

 

[Shum]

So for those of us that have purchased used already modded sleds, is there a way to tell what the ECM has been flashed with? Is there a reader?

 

[dktraw]

get your vin# and call your dealer, (or a dealer) and ask them what all has been done to that machine. anytime they do work on them, they enter the vin# to keep track.

Do you know dealers share information (we have about 6 dealers in the immediate area).

Also is there a VIN anywhere besides the tunnel? Mine has tunnel stiffeners and only the first 3 digits show. I'd need to remove them to see under them.

Do you not have a vin# on the bill of sale?

3500 is about right... take advantage of that torque, You can putt around all day with the bottom end power Also keep in mind that with the long stroke motor, your target peak RPM will only want to be between 7400-7600 RPM, these motors don't spin the 8400 RPM that the smaller displacement units like to be around!

Example of putting at low RPM



And some WOT playing



Again, Welcome to the club... the 900s are a little different than many other sleds, but that's why many of us really love them!

 

[stevebrizan]

That is some pertty kickass footage there I got one more question for you guys buddy i bought the sled from said that it had the torque arms NOT SO where do I get them for a decent not dealer price and should I not ride tell I get them installed
