Advantages Of The B-pipe

[chart102]

my sj has a riva freeride dry pipe. it seems to add a nice punch. how much better is the b-pipe?

my ski is an 02

i think it has the best low to mid range hit which is ideal for freeride.

but to spend 750 bucks or what ever it is on one is pretty nutty to me.

i have a protec pipe and im very happy with it. the riva pipe is also a great choice that was my second choice. if you already have the pipe just keep it. theres other ways you can compensate for some low end if thats what you want.

i kinda figured that. 800 bucks can go a long way elsewhere (head, ignition enhancer, prop.)

yea get a prop and you will notice a big difference.

you'll get way more hit down low. and when u do get a head msd prop.. it will hit so much harder. mods are mods but for freestyle u need a bpipe before all.. my surf boat has a bpipe prop scoopgrate and a port job.. gets the rolls round nicely.

not everybody runs a b pipe, just most people. I say go for some other parts. you next part should be an impeller. the stock one is awefull. the 2 biggest gains on a stock boat is pipe and impeller.

here is a link to non b-pipe reviews for the budget minded.

One advantage of the B-pipe is the fact that it does not mount to the head. I have seen several motors with port work done on the cylinder just shake a pipe apart thats mounted to the head. Just my opinion.:biggthumpup:

My buddy has the riva dry, the Huge mutha, hes not sure if he should sell that for a few hundred and buy a B or keep it and upgrade to a freestyle impeller, msd, and round pole. His motor is ported with a westcoast head and I think thats about it as far as the engine.

ive never notced a difference on an enhanser unless you have a pipe. and factory pipes are 617.00 not 800.00

I had a Riva wet pipe b/4 my "B" pipe, power difference was minimal, but maintinance is null on a "B" pipe as couplers dont go out and there are no lord mounts to break. If you Riva pipe hits good and doesnt need maintaned I would run it, there is very little difference in power if you get the dry pipe tuned right.

i saw on wamiltons a bpipe kit with port matched manifold ? and it was a little more than just the pipe setup.

im mainly looking for "bang for the buck" bolt on mods for now. i just want to hit some decent attempts at BRs off of boat/my wake.

Thank you,

That is a nice pipe

Just look for an impeller, scoop, and freestyle specific ride plate. Does your ski even have a bilge yet? Two attwood 500's should do the trick. There is tons of stuff you could do. Foot holds are manditory too!

you dont need a b-pipe to do a barrel roll
