I tried doing a search but couldn't come up with anything. I'm wondering how much difference an aftermarket water box makes. Would it be worth it for me, I have a xscream ss865 in my trinity matrix. Thanks
Freestyle Does a/m waterbox make much of a difference?

Dosent make a big noticeable difference. Mainly just sound. Your motor motor setup would spind good with a new gen xmetal

small piece to the puzzle, dont expect it to make your motor a raped ape with just a waterbox. and yes it does change the sound.

As mentioned above, it's not a huge increase on most skis. My wife's ski has the new gen X-Metal box and we have tried it on a single carb 701 and ported 760 and compared it to stock water box. Really it just made the bottom end a tiny bit crisper on the 760 and seemed to help response through the rpm range. Nothing huge. The X-Metal has a nice deeper tone that is different (not really louder or quieter) than the stock one.
Well I guess it's kind of quieter when the box is dried out over oem.

Agree with comments above. If we are talking the new gen xmetal, a little better than stock, but quite a bit lighter and holds less water in it so that makes the weight difference more. You can feel the weight difference in the nose, every little bit matters for flatwater.

Oh yeah, forgot that point. The weight is a little noticeable too.
