Protec pipe chamber question.

[ozwiz]

Hi guys,i'm buying a protec pipe with stainless chamber and want to know if there's room to move the chamber forward another 2 inches for extra tuned length.I want to weld an extra piece on the coupler end to achieve this but i don't have any photos to see if the outlet will hit the tank.Cheers.

just find an alum pipe the length you want and use the silicone coupler materials. Do not know if this will effectively do what you want, but cannot hurt to try and this way it is not permanent.

Those are great pipes. I had one on the 650 in my SJ before I swapped in a 701. Definitely woke up the 650 and sounded super throaty.

You should have plenty of room. This is my old protec that I wish i still had, but you can see its substantially longer than the one you have pictured.

Yeah that chamber looks at least 2-3 inches longer,hopefully i can add that much to mine and still have enough room for the bend on the outlet,thanks guys.

Mine looked like this. Previous owner added 1.75" in the area shown in the picture, but never felt the power of the pipe without the extra legnth, can't comment if it is worth the trouble or not. What I do know is that at the time I paid $175 for the complete pipe and it was awesome. When I swapped it for a b-pipe, I would have said yes the b-pipe had better low end and better hit.. But pound for pound, the protec was great. Especially considering people sell used b-pipes for $1100 now.

Not sure how you would run the factory mounting point if you extended outward unless you cut and welded on a new tab. Something to think about.

Try lowering the pump load, first bore the nozzle then flatten the impeller. Making the pipe longer will reduce power and thrust.

If I could find that pipe again I'd sell my b pipe for it. Had the early model head pipe on it with adjustable water screws like a FP head pipe.

The most pleasurable driveline i have ever had was a stock 6m6, protec exhaust (black cast chamber) and bored nozzle by jetworks with an "A" prop.

Now hear me out I am not talking about freestyle skis but 701 level superjets and surf skis. I did have the pleasure of blipping around on a 900r once (that was cool)

But that little 650 in that driveline had unreal low end and midrange, not in the sense that it ripped your arms off but that it was always there and predictably.

I've since long moved on and actually kind of regret it as it was such a fun set up. It was fun to watch guys try it and watch them go "oh...Oh ok!...sweet" lol

I had a similar 6m6 setup that I'd describe the same way. Protec stainless chamber, enhancer, RAD flywheel. It ripped for a 650.

The funny thing about it was the ski did probably 34-35 mph tops, I'm pretty sure it was slower than a stock ski. But damn did it hook up and pull
