I picked up a truck load of these for Brian today from Mark... Thrust innovations has these in stock... Don't wait or you will be waiting again.... Mark said the first shipment he got in was sold out, these are in demand! I wonder why, lol

after locking up my motor about a dozen times the last couple seasons, no way will i ever NOT run the PowerFactor Waterbox.

(i bought one last season but never used it / sat on the shelf. that will change this season)

while it does sound amazing without a waterbox, i am tired of getting water back into the motor and over-stressing the components.


i know EME said on his setups the waterbox didn't make any difference when i spoke to him on the phone.

every other person / builder i have talked to swears by that it cleans up bottom end punch and makes the punch more "consistent".

Botti ran a power factor on his World Finals SXR in 2009 or 2010. It was a power valve setup and the factory pipe dry pipe wouldn't fit. That ski screamed and was pretty slick. Billet cylinder designed to accommodate the yamaha style exhaust manifold, porting, and cooling passages.

In regards to the PowerFactor "myth".....a dry pipe will wake up any motor substantially as long as you can tune a ski. I'd take a dry pipe over a wet pipe any day of the week.

Anyone running one in an SXR yet?

I could probably sell my wet pipe for $600 and I was going to buy a TDR waterbox at $200....maybe someday. Though I'd have to say goodbye to river rides.

It's doable on a stock cyl with that adapter plate Blowsion make. I'd sure like to try one, maybe someday.
 
PF pipes did not really get popular until the box came out, apparently it was designed to increase bottom end performance and tone the Db's down. It all depends on the riding style, DK your riding style is completely different compared to mine. I mainly use mid to top grunt, everyones riding style is different. Theres not way PF is out of stock of pipes they received a truck load of them...literally a truck load hahaa

so if water getting into the motor with a box is an issue, why wouldn't someone come up with a scupper valve style set up for this pipe? I'm sure someone can design something.

i think you misunderstand.

with a waterbox - no water back flow issues.
