Hi I have an XFS with a Thrust innovation trim set up. I have run the ski with a B pipe for 3 months and then changed to a PF dry pipe and I have not touched the stock exhaust outlet and my ski does not lose power when I turn. Making the exhaust tube longer will this not cause more drag as the ski is taking off the wake ??

I don't see it causing more drag because it sticks straight out the back of the ski. We will run it and see how things go.

Sweet mother of Mary!
I had my ebox open last night actually on my SJ. It was slightly moist/damp (not wet, but seemed like moisture was getting in) and had pismo beach sand inside it too (weird?).
Yours looks a bit frightening in the first pics, but is looking a lot better after the clean and paint! Post a pic once the electrics are re-installed if you can.

I guessing to keep the pipe from rubbing on one side? Not sure...

You are correct slam. Keep the pipe from rubbing on one side and keep the cables from rubbing on the other side.

Looking good! Did you get the extended ride plate with the ski or did you buy it separate?

Hopefully you went down and got tested after this happened. Next time wear protection.
Sweet build so far! Keep it up!

Go ahead and order underpad and turf!
does the pipe not melt the turf, or the glue holding the turf?

I have been told this by multiple people, but i want to try this stock turf first.
No it doesn't melt the turf, turf doesn't go anywhere.
Every SJ i have ever worked on had turf in it. The B-pipe is know for rubbing the side walls and fuel tank.
thanks
I had my pipe out last week and saw the rubbing marks (I've known its been doing it but never looked for the marks before)
I thought about turfing, but thought it might melt. I will add it next time I have the pipe out since you say it should be okay.
I have a deep notch in my gas tank actually from the pipe weld. I have a thick piece of rubber over the notch on the tank now, I was worried it was going to rub through. I actually just put it on with one strip of duct tape right to the tank and it is holding well.

Nothing to crazy just minor/normal mods here and there to make everything fit perfect.
