What do you guys consider some of the better dry pipes out there? How many people use a dry pipe on there rec. ski just to play around on? Can a dry pipe be set up to run good other then top end?

I had a speedwerks and a factory. Both of them ripped on mids and tops but both of them clogged if even a friggin amoeba got caught in them.

I had to run small sea strainers on both to prevent this.

Neither one compared to the bottom grunt and reliability of a B pipe IMO.

I always wondered how the speedwerks would have hit (on the bottom) with a 200HP powervalve motor though. I think this is where it would truly shine.

I'm running a Factory Pipe Type 4 Dry pipe in my back up ski... that ski rips... yes they can be set up to have killer bottom end... my problem is the ported cylinder I am running has very high exhaust ports, so I think that is giving me a slight lag in bottom end. I am going to swap it out over the winter for a rec ported cylinder to see if it makes the difference.

the dry pipes are grunt for low end power in my experience
however its the throtle response thats harder to get

the instant brap when you hit say half throttle
but if you give it everything of idle then the low end is awesome


i think that people get confused betwene low end hp and throttle response

good point... the throttle response on my dry piped ski is not as good as my b-piped ski for sure...

Ditto of the Speedwerx and the Type 4's. I have one of each. I think I have a little better throttle response off the bottom with the speedwerx compared to the Type 4. It's really hard to say because the skis are setup completely different. Both of them rip in the mid-range to top.

yeah i have had a heap of type 9 pipes
they are awesome and in my mind the best dry pipe you can buy


its hard to get the throttle response of a b-pipe but you can get them close

i have seen alot of racers lost because of the r&d dry pipe

they tend to fall apart on the coupler


i have never owned one myself for this reason

protec is that dry?
rd- falls apart cracks and breaks with no warranty
fpp will crack but has a warranty
fpp better off with out h20 inj.
i have all of them slo-tec,rd,b,#4,#8,#9
#4 and rd were same on power to me
#8 killed the rd on top but the rd killed the #8 on bottom
#4 got replaced by #9 but havent had anything to compare it to
currently just playing on a b
none of the pipes above can handle the sxr dry
that pipe is a big headace! and it to cracks but makes hp!
my sxr pipe was cracked when i bought the ski
replaced by fpp , and cracked again @ a weld
i just had it rewelded locally for as much as shipping back to fpp
fpp is the best pipe company!
never used speedworks but would love to try one in my blaster!
and the riva dry is a fpp just named riva i have had both and couldnt tell any diff other than color
