Hey guys, I have a 2002 sx viper. It is stock other than some clutching, an mbrp race can, and a 1.5 inch backcountry track. I am looking for more out of it and was thinking about purchasing some triple pipes for it and throwing in a polaris edge skid. Would these upgrades be worth it or should I just put my money towards a new sled?
Thanks,
Jacob

Depends on what you want. You can do a lot of nice upgrades to these vipers and have them ride pretty good. Are they a new viper? NO, but they are a ton of fun. Im still keeping mine going and continue to spend money on them for now. A new sled is in the future but have a few things to take care of first. Pipes and a new skid make them a lot of fun!!! Pipes and skid $500 - new viper $13000, fun on a good ol 2 stroke, priceless. LOL!!

Ok, Thanks Super1c. There is a set of PSI pipes for sale in my area. 400$ with jets. Would they be worth it?
Thanks,

Put 13k in the viper you got and well see what sled youd rather have.

Lol, Is it true PSI never made triple pipes for the viper? Some guy is selling them and he swears they're for a viper but others say they never made any.

Might want to take care of cooling before the pipes go on.

So just buy a rear heat exchanger then?

No, you'll want to get the SRX cooler for the back. Just bigger is all. If it was me, I'd do the Opticool head gasket and maybe even the SRX base gasket also. Then, from what I've heard..... save for some gas money.

I think i'll just do the srx heat exchanger. Anyone selling one?

Hear is an SRX rear H/E.

You'll just need to increase surface area of that H/E. You can mod/adapt whatever you can get. There just needs to be more of it. Compared to the Viper OE.

It'd be a wise and minimal investment.

Ok, so where would I find some hoses for the rear exchanger? Not sure what lengths I need.
