I'm looking for triple pipes for a viper which offer the best power, sound, along with out loosing reliability. I searched but had no results.
 
Really really love my CPR pipes. Sounds like they might be getting a little bit harder to find, but I really love the sound a performance of them. That and some porting will wake up the beast. Be ready to throw alot more weight at the clutch, best bet is to get a heavy hitter set up or something comparable, that way it's nice and adjustable for any mods you wanna do.
 
all the aftermarket pipes out there, will wake up a stock viper. some give a few more ponies than other ones. they are all within 5-6 peak hp from one to another. i personally have the aaens and have no complaints. sound awesome, fit well, and gave me a nice hp increase from stock. for a trail machine, the slp's usually get the vote for being the most trail friendly. if i was to do it over again, i would get the slp's....on the dyno charts i've seen, the slp's have 6.5 more peak hp than the aaen's and 6-8more hp in the midrange than the aaen's too and i can get them ceramic coated right away. my .02 for you, is to get the slps.
 
Just be aware that piped vipers get really poor gas mileage, like 7-9. I don't know if this matters to you but alot of guys were freaking out about it when they first started piping them.
 
mine would get 10-11mpg, w/the aaen pipes. this year, i get a little less, like 9-10 mpg, due to other mods. also, depends how you operate the go-fast-flipper....lol.
 
mopar1rules you are right. if I did not buy my benders used the slp pipes seem to be the top. but as far as fuel has anyone tryed running with the carb vent lines off the air box an vent them to atmospher. I run stock viper jetting and I could likely come down two more sizes.its not to rich but it's very safe.
 
dr. viper, i have always ran w/my vent lines disconnected from the airbox w/my aaen pipes. if you leave them connected, then you just need those enormously large jets....like 160-172.5. unnecessary IMO.

I think this is what Hauck's were doing.
 
On another note.......does anyone know the difference in cooling capacity (fluid ounces of coolant) that the SRX hold vs. the Viper? I am sure the SRX is more in stock form being the Viper had no rear exchanger.....but several people including myself put one on. Even so I'd like to know the capacities with and without rear exchanger against the SRX. Reason being.....didn't one of the Canadian riders mention a few weeks back on here that he runs a SRX 700 cooling system and heads on his piped Viper and has had zero issues with his as far as burn downs?? I doubt it would make much difference on fuel usuage, but I thought I would bring it up as far as reliability goes.


BTW: the 780 BB in my avatar.....it's now getting a 900 Union Bay Viper motor. Just talked with the former owner today. This should be interesting.

I have SLP's and they are great -- they sound nice, they add a lot of HP, and they don't compromise reliability. They are also a fairly easy install. I also installed a Holtzman Atacc, Boysen Power Reeds, and Heel Clickers.
 
my cpr piped 03' gets great mpg, not sure exactly what but im right on par with a stock 700 poo or doo. as for running with the carbs vented to atmosphere, its no different than running them vented to the airbox except the size of the jets you need to use its still the same air/fuel mixture needed.
 
Im not to worried about gas milage, for some reason it has seemed to worsen as the milage gets higher(10,000miles). I get around 85-90 miles around when the fuel light goes on. I think when i had around 5,000miles i could get 120miles pretty easy, so milage wont effect me to bad, im used to poor milage as of right now. Thanks for all the replies, and im taking a couple pipes into consideration.

I just installed the SLP's, along with a Hartmann Performance 136" long track extension, and I just am totally impressed. Hartmann set me up with the proper jetting for the pipes, and coupled with a clutch set up(springs and weights), and different gearing, it is now a great machine to ride. My '02 Viper is a completely different ride compared to stock. There just seems to be a lot more power thoughout the rpm range.The SLP's were an easy install, and I would recommend buying an additional roll of heat tape for the install as opposed to what comes with pipes. Taping was the longest part of the install. Mileage does go down, but I think that a majority of it is due to the fact that my thumb gets more of workout having fun with it. This is my $.02.
 
Im going with the benders, because i have found a really good deal on a set of them. One thing i was wondering is should i run the bender clutch kit for the vip triples? I see it is made for the pipes on the viper? Im also wondering if anyone has any jetting tips, im running at around 1900ft elevation, sled is stock performance wise. All information will really help, thank you in advance.
 
i have the instruction sheet for the benders, that i could give you the jetting specs etc. i wouldn't buy their clutch kit. you'll be able to put something together, much better than what their kit consists of.....especially w/all the setups in the tech pages and such. many informative people on this site, to steer you in the right direction.

When was the last time you rebuilt it?


If never, you might want to at least re ring before you throw pipes on it.
 
Im also wondering what is the deal with taking the lines of the air box so they run of the atmosphere. What does this cure? And do you guys recomend this with the bender pipes or just leave them as is? Resean i asked is bevause ive heard alot about this with those who have the triple pipes. So im looking to keep reliability as much as possible but still adding this needed power.
