Hey,

Getting too many complaints about the noise of my ski from locals, will blocking/removing my front exhaust make a big difference in the noise it makes. Its a superjet with an x-metal waterbox and Bpipe..


Thanks

Scott

Yes - the noise is a combination of the water box and front exhaust outlet. Blocking it off will certainly help. Another way is to run the water box wetter - make sure you have plenty of flow into it from the B-Pipe stinger. It'll still be loud though, even with plenty of water.

Its split, I will run it all out the back and block front up, just hope it makes a big difference to the noise level. Sick of people coming on to the beach to moan at me.

you know I think people will complain about it regardless of if its got front exhaust or not...some people just don;t care for skis on the water and will look for anything to complain about. if its not the noise it wil be something else...end of my rant.

I was complained at once for loud ski. "You need to go somewhere else your seadoo is too loud." I looked over at their screaming kids; "Yeah, you guys might wanna go somewhere else, the screaming is really hurting my ears."

He walked off.

People constantly will find something to complain about. I was praticing for a comp one time and a guy came and screamed at me for "showing off" and being too close to his kids, which I was OUTSIDE the barge channel marker.

They'll call the DNR to me atleast once a week and he comes up, sees its me, we BS for a little while and i start hitting his wake when he leaves. He understands I'm more then a regular rider and lets me pratice all I want.

There's the problem. Take that loud POS out and replace with a stock box. You'll make more power and will be not be a nuisance to everyone.

I think I see the problem:

You're running the second to loudest ski (FX-1 being the loudest)
You're running the loudest waterbox
and exiting it in the loudest location.

Start with your front exhaust, then move to that waterbox.

I would like to head butt anybody who complains to me, but due to this island i live on and the fact that it is so small, and what i do for a living, i would not get away with it...

I will remove front exhaust, and if people still moan then they will be told to piss off.

You might want to try just going back to a stock waterbox first: a front exhaust outlet is a great thing to have. I'm sure you could pick up a used stocker somewhere, but them you'll need a T piece too. You can get one braised together if you know a plumber....
