No Idea on the pipes but yes put the extra heat exchanger in if you don't have it. UNFOURTUNATELY you can no longer get the kit from Yamaha for $100 you have to pay more for the exchanger now.
Heat exchanger, and There is no "best" pipes. Most piped vipers have reliability issues when using bender pipes. CLutching in needed to get the engine at the targeted RPM for the pipes. It's all in how you tune. PSI............. AAEN......

I put an aftermarket silencer on mine years ago, saved a few pounds and gave it a cool sound. Replacing the rear crossover tube with a heat exchanger is a must! For the first couple of months my temp light came on constantly, installed the rear exchanger hasn't come back on since.
so basically from what i've read they all produce simular HP,what i meant by Best pipes was Fit and finish,and i figured i'd have to re-clutch for the added power.Im hoping the Crank can handle the extra RPM...I think i'll go with SLP98700 said:

I have benders- have not had a single problem. I was deciding on the SLP's and the Bender pipes. I was going for the sound witch was Bender.
would i have to do any Crank work for the pipes or is the bottom end beefy enough?mrviper700 said:

SLP has all the clutching and carb specs on their web site. Start out with what they recommend, it is very close to perfect set up if you decide to go with SLP pipes.
