Mag pump or different exhaust pipe?

[AAlamo]

hey guys I have a fx1 that I recently upgraded to a Jetworks 900 motor with blackjack 44s (from a stock 61x/61x). I was wondering what I should buy first, a mag pump or an exhaust like pfp or tnt? I currently have a limited b pipe and a 144 pump with 9/15 hooker and x metal trim. I know that I am probably under propped now, which is why i was contemplating a mag pump while I have the pump out. So what would you do first, mag pump (144 or 148) or a different pipe? Thanks! (And I can't buy both at this time or else I would)

If your pump tunnel is Big enough get 148 pump if not 144 mag, put that power too the water.

I would suggest, going for the Mag pump, since you already have a B pipe. Mag will be a big improvement over stock pump especially since you already have the 9/15. Can't go wrong with a Solas Mag, for the price.

I wouldn't upgrade from a oem 144, to a mag 144. only a bigger mag pump, otherwise no doubt. PFP exhaust or TNT pipe. No questions asked, the biggest gain between the 2 options.

Your large hub impeller is worth about 40% of the total gain. Which is more important, a little more power or a little faster pump hookup?

Pipe

I guess that is the question what is more important, a little faster hookup or a little more power? If the power isn't being transferred to the water, is it worth it?

Re prop to achieve your desired hookup never settle for less power you can find the right prop / nozzle combo to make it rip

A mag stator doesn't add speed or thrust. It keeps producing where a stock pump struggles. Mags really shine in rough water and prime fast when they hit the water. A surf rider would benefit more from a pump. A river runner would want the pipe.

Thanks kevbo! That makes sense. Sounds like it won't hurt to have the extra power that the pipe adds.

Will a pfp or tnt pipe even fit inside a fx1?

Also a mag pump will reduce your top speed

148 pump and prop it ! b pipe will be fine if u add more power and not pump then you are wasting money as i found out ! all the prop does is spin like a top!

 

[jonolove]

Yes pfp can fit in a fx1 you will need to run a different tank and modify the water box or run a resonator and if you're spinning your prop either cut it back or run a higher pitch prop

I would step up and go with a 148 mag. You need a prop anyway, so just spend the money on a pump. A 148 will hold you over for a long time.
