How do you think it compares to the Protec Mach 2? I have one but hate how it mounts. ( I am looking for high RPM peak power. I don't care about low or mid range)
I'm not completely sure how this pipe compares to the Protec, I'd have a hard time seeing another pipe making better power though. I'm sure there are a handful of guys on here that could chime in on this one though, I have only ever run a B-Pipe. I will say this pipe hit hard down low, but I believe that's a reflection of the Jetted water inlets and is tunable. As for the porting, it looks as if it was just cleaned up on the top edge, assuming to match a port. I had this on a stock cylinder.
These were the most expensive pipe at $1200 back in the day and on most race boats. You can always tell when this pipe was in a hull since you have to grind some of the hood opening just about back to the hood seal for clearance. In the beginning of freestyle, the Japanese used these pipes on their 1200 motors but they made a carbon chamber. For sure it's one of the best. One of my gurus preferred speedwerx tho. Protec is a heavy cast pos similar to coffman which adds 20 hp and 800$ for this pipe is fair. You'll get more topend out of it than that protec. This is a sponsored riders only version but you can barely see in the top left where the hull is shaved
