Lets say that this will be run on the average superjet setup after most of the normal mods have been made for a limited setup. Make your vote!

I have had both and the freeride pipe makes wrenching a PITA!

How about without considering the wrenching?

The freeride pipe was originally based off the Type 4 dry pipe which is a speed pipe or race pipe, it is not designed for bottom end power.......
It (dry pipe) does make good power from Mid to top, and if waterinjection is added it can make decent bottom.........

speedwerx fs or the race pipe would be the best imo though its not listed.

i have a b pipe and have never ran any dry pipes but it sure seems like most freeriders prefer a b pipe.

b-pipe has a pretty good edge so far....

b pipe had better bottom end than the dry. I wasnt running water injection though.

The way I look at it is this: Why would the high horsepower freestyle engine builders as well as all but one of the top professional riders, all use the 'b' pipe if it wasn't the best way to go?

Never used th eRiva pipe, but I know my limited Factory B pipe was far better than my Factory Dry Pipe, as far as bottom end goes.

The Truth about dry pipes thread is starting to look like Dry pipes when properly setup and tuned, have more power from bottom to top. It Sucks the pipe has to come off before the head though.

I dont understand how these pipes sell for 500-700 dollars and nobody has proof in numbers about performance.... seems like everyone just says what they think is best... I am sure they all make a vast improvement over stock...that is prob why people all think their pipe is so great....
The only indication that the b-pipe is the best is that engine builders prefer them... I would love to see actual numbers proving one pipe superior over others... kinda like pump curves... has anyone ever seen actual charts for pipes run on the exact same setup back to back???

You would need a dyno for that and no one has one 
okeyr cares for that matter .
Reliability and ease of use :bigok:

I would think that Factory Pipe has done extensive Dyno Tuning. How else could they make accurate horse power claims?
I cant believe no one has found a good way to Dyno a ski yet.... That would be serious bragging rights at this point. Maybe the setup is just out of budget for all the engine tuners in are sport.

800 SX-R Dry Pipe
This is off Factory pipe's Kawasaki page.
After months of dyno, field, and durability testing in conjunction with Team Kawasaki, we introduced the 800SX-R Dry exhaust system. This water-jacketed pipe adds 27 horsepower over the stock exhaust. All that power with just the pipe, rejetted carbs, and a timing advance plate (required on 2003 models only)! Our “audit” boat gained 6 mph and had peak power at 7100 rpm. This is the must have 800 SX-R system for closed course racing.

a dyno is very expencive tool
i run one @ the motorcycle shop i work for
we are also a pwc dealer and 100% of watercraft owners just want their ski fixxed asap and as cheap as possible
motorcycle owners are different the have a ego that the brag about their hp # and how much $ they spend on chrome and pipes and all that bs
its just not logical for shops have a pwc dyno
i wish our shops dyno would hook to pwc but oh well
