I thought this was a comical response I just received from Blowsion. The backstory is I thought just for a lark I would put an order in for a limited chamber back in May I believe... because who knows, stranger things have happened lol. This was the response I just received the other day lol...

"Factory Pipe - Yamaha B-Pipe Exhaust Chamber - Limited will not be available ever. Your order has been cancelled. You can place an order for a complete kit and be placed on the backorder list."

..."ever" lol :)

Yeah same here, I got on the RIVA backorder list maybe 2-3 months ago and our 2 pipes are arriving today... I guess Blowsion is saying that they will no longer be selling the individual pieces.

Also, when I ordered my first B-pipe a couple years ago I just called RIVA and they were in stock. I bought one and it shipped immediately. The surf gods must be hooking me up :cool:

Funny though, I always call FPP every month when I'm paying bills. Same old story, call back next month! Its confusing why they don't just say "get on a pre-order from a main distributor, stop calling us"

Seems like they had pipes in the works but didn't mention it to me, then 2 weeks later RIVA calls and they have pipes...

Since we are bashing vendors

I need gave a guy 3400 dollars for a pump.

Waited for dayyyyyyys for it. Felt like 5x what I was initially told.

Got the pump. Nice piece. Use the seal.for another ski. Asked for another. Was told 40 dollars for the seal. And 60 for shipping. Lmfao. 100 dollar pump seal. I.passed. didn't want the 153.654 mm coming out the next month and not being able to use mine.

Keep it classy. Or not. I won't ever buy your poop again

I'm not bashing anyone, my post was just based on the comical value of their response. It's by no means their fault they won't get supply anymore and they do sell some items that I like and will still buy from them. Actually they sell a lot of items I like I just can't afford most of it lol :)

Wax, is there a reason the bottom water screw has to be on the bottom? Where the coupler attaches is a circle, does it make a difference where on the circle the water is injected? Can’t it be on the top, say 135 degrees up from that 6 o’clock position, where you can get to it when it’s in the boat?

Yes it makes a huge difference. If I had to get rid of them all but one I would keep the bottom one

Agreed. I’d prefer to use the bottom one but don’t because of clogs. You just about have to remove the head pipe to unclog it. How about a boss for a spray bar, that can be accessed from the top? I know I’m reaching here, throw me a friggin bone, lol. The performance does seem better injecting h2o closer to the chamber.

We are looking at a boss. If you are using the top one and not the bottom one you are loosing a lot of performance

If the port wasn't on the very bottom how could the header ever drain?

I don’t believe the bottom water injection port functions as a drain, you can run it closed with others open for different tuning characteristics. When you run a PFP wet w/ a spray bar there’s no drain.

I'm personally a fan of the top screw and also the closest the water enters the exhaust stream to the engine, the more affect it has on the engine at least in theory. The water in the exhaust increases throttle response especially in the lower and midrange rpms. Thats why people run the pfp pipes wet. The bottom screw might make a few more hp up top but at the expense of low mid throttle response. The chamber length also factors in as well.

The lowest hole ends up becoming a drain when you turn the engine off. I like to get the water out because our metal parts do last longer without it there. Injecting water closer to the engine is just a somewhat easy way to mask poor pump tuning. B pipes do not have the highest RPM length to begin with. If you cant run them at their highest output setting then the engine is simply overloaded. Opening the top screw is like running a $1000 pipe at the $300 level.
