Let me know how it woks.
It seems that at slower speeds there would be water flowing by that would be more "hard water". With rear exhaust, as soon as you move there is very little water pressure on the outlet. Even at slaow speeds, with the stock exhaust, the water on the pipe is "soft water".

Mabey difficult to explain, just how I see it in my head.

x2...I had dual exhausts with TDR waterbox and it was the loudest, most annoying boat EVER..but I did like the way it ran


i thought it was going to be problematic to revert to my fx which has rear only but I havent noticed it one bit.....unless trying to do a 3 minute tailstand...

Answer To The Question?

I don't know did we get an answer to the question? Should one put dual exhaust on a RN? Aside from small lake noise - doesnt doing tail stands for min or two with only rear exhaust cause engine problems?

I'd like to put one on my 07 SJ (maybe from Blowsion) Having had a SX650 I know the front exhaust isn't as quiet or as 'rider freindly' but how much more noise are we looking at and should we have one?

Answer I found from most people it that front exhaust is worth it... just use the stock waterbox and set it up to run on both front and rear exhaust combined... at least this seemed like the polular answer... I usually go with the majority answer as I like to have multiple opinions before I end up going in one direction

I also watch lots of freestyle vids... if you watch most of the flatwater guys you will notice that most of them have that modification.

I'd be careful with majority opinions. If you actually knew the people commenting and the real value of their opinions that might not be a bad way to go, but you don't. Not knocking anyone on this or any other thread, but most of the guys with the really serious boats/motors don't have a lot to say on technical discussions. I'm also not saying I'm one of those guys, but look and you'll see what I mean. Actual knowledge is usually(not always) inversely proportional to post count.

Yeah... that is really true.... I should add that I like to have opinions from people that I have grown to trust to tell me the right thing... in this case I trust the people that told me that if I want to put the front exhaust in to use the stock waterbox and not to go front only. Watching the videos and seeing it on many skis kinda convinced me that I wanted to do it too... monkey see--> monkey do :)

I'm on the wagon :)

At least for this mod...

Let me add that after riding my ski stock for the last part of the past year I think ANYTHING will be an improvement... tell you the truth... I dont think this mod will really do that much... just kinda wanted to do another mod for the heck of it... sounds crazy, but most can prob relate...

I swore I would never do front exhaust then for some damn reason last winter I did but wish I would have never done it what was I thinking.

I have front exhaust to save on weight and make more room in my engine compartment, and I run rev footholds that interfere w/ the exh. tube...

It works for me. I definitely don't like the exh. in the face though.

it definitely has it's drawbacks
