Pro-Tec Pipe

[JetSkiJunkie]

So, still going to work on piecing together a b-pipe over the winter, but I picked up a Pro-Tec pipe for a good price. I figure it will add a little more brapp for now anyway. It came with all of the gromets, the triangle bracket and the long manifold bolt. I have read a lot about the advantages and disavantages to these pipes, and it seems that setup is key. Using thread locker and maybe even lock wire to keep the bolts from backing out. Pro-Tec still offers a "rebuild kit" for the pipe, but it is a little pricey ($165). I have contacted them and asked if they had the installation instructions, but they have not answered. I am sure I can figure it out myself, but was just wondering if anyone on here had them?

Thanks,
JJ

Everyone talks about problems with their protec's, but the one I had on my old SN was great. I really liked that pipe and would run it again.

Well, I bit the bullet and ordered the rebuild kit from Pro-Tec. To my surprise, it came with installation instructions and gaskets (which were not shown in the picture of the kit). Thanks Pro-Tec! I will scan the instructions to PDF next week at work and post them for anyone else who has this pipe.

Best regards,
JJ

Protec is a great company.

The insallation instructions I got with the rebuild kit are attached. They are pretty generic and apply to more than one pipe. However they do have some good info and a few tips that I would not have thought of. I am also attaching a couple of water line routing images I found online and the only image I could find that shows the triangle bracket that this pipe uses to mount one of the bottom brackets to the manifold.

Had a couple Mach 1s in my superjets. Worked good work me. Had to red locktite the chamber bracket bolt in the head (stock head) so it wouldn't back off, otherwise no problems.

I liked my protec for the year I ran it. Never had anything back out or loosen up. I liked the power it made. Changing up to a mod pipe and JM 781 now though
