Wanting a loud silencer fro 06 900 SW

[Z-Man]

While I was looking up info I found this little jewel of info. The SLP pipe for the 06 900 actually loses HP throughout the midrange compared to the stock pipe, so unless you have it clutched to spin up to near redline they actually will perform worse than a stock pipe.

Mine's got the stock pipe and I have it clutched to spin 7500 RPM

My buddies has the SLP pipe kit and his is set up to spin the recommended 7800 RPM... it doesn't hurt anything..... As long as you keep it where the power/torque is peak your good. I believe the rev limiter doesn't kick in till a lil over 8K RPM (not sure the exact number)



The power curve does stay nice and linier and is only down about 2-3 horsepower in the midrange point for point, but a decent gain on top (14hp if I remember the spec correctly)

Of course we are starting to get a little off topic...

Yes, but it does back that the louder SLP exhaust doesn't gain you a whole lot in the mid area over your stock quiet pipe.

I've actually been doing a few calls trying to find out if there is a better pipe that is quieter.

Dyno port had nothing good to say about the SLP 900 exhaust and reported a 5 hp loss using the SLP can when they ran it on their dyno and the only way the SLP made more power was by screwing with the fuel and timing map. No ECO remap required for Dyno Port pipe set.

CPI HP output was 158 at 7200 rpm and 159.3 at 7500, they echoed nearly identical thoughts on SLP performance as DynoPort. No ECU remap on their pipe.

Faster spinning equals exponentially increasing force exerted on the crankshaft if your clutch and engine are not perfectly balanced, exactly why your warranty was voided with the SLP reflash.

Any chance of finding an '06 900 with dynoport pipe chart? My net just got snail mail dial up speed slow so cannot come up with any. If not a chart then maybe some rpm targets? I remember the '05 900 should be targeted around 7200-7300 rpm for the dynoport set but haven't found anything for '06. And what peak hp and torque it made?

I can give them a call again and ask them. I believe they told me the output was similar to what CPI told me and they made a point to tell me they did not need to mess with the RPM or timing of the engine.

I actually just put a dynoport exhaust on my fuse and this is what Rich Daly told me.

You will get an increase of 9-10 hp over stock. Target 7400-7600 RPM and see where it runs the highest MPH. If the highest rpm is at 7400, try clutching for 7300, 7200 until you find the max MPH.

this is my sled with a ss rumble pack, it only lasted 500 miles then fell apart inside.

I wish we had some way to do some sound testing on all the cans on the 900. Even the Skinz Ultra Q could exceed the legal sound limit in CO.


Super-Q: Noise Level is higher than Original (OEM). Great for Racing, Mountain Riding, or Lower Populated Areas. (DB Level 90 +/- 7)

Ultra-Q: Noise Level is modified from stock, but close to Original Sound Levels. Great for Trails and Populated Areas. (DB Level 87 +/- 7)

Running a “Thing Can” on the 05 900 with SLP pipe, not an overly loud can starts of snappy at low idle and during a climb at WOT gets in to a lower tone.
