What should I use to make a rear exhaust? PVC, an exhaust pipe from a muffler shop, or some type of flexible pipe? And what diameter?

I used a scedual 40 2in pvc pipe that I glassed into the hull then I am doing a radiator hose (or something along the lines of that) that will go on the inside of the pvc.

If you plan on doing footholds it might get in the way if you go through the side rails.

go 2". pvc or alum tubing. Some worry about pvc with the heat, but mos use is and with a reasonable amt of water its fine. Do not use flex hose except for connections.

I'm voting for aluminum tubing or fiberglass tube- murphy's law states that a leak will develop in the tray.

Aluminum or Stainless. Your normal muffler shop stuff will be steel and wont last. Aluminum is nice but you would have a much larger outer diameter than stainless for the same inner diameter. Stainless would be best for utilizing the not-a-lot of space you have under the tray, but aluminum would be ok too.
As for the size... Measure the largest inner diameter you plan to put in your exhaust system. I believe the stock X2 exhaust system is 1-3/4" or 1-7/8". You exhaust tube should be at a minimum the same size (on the inside of the pipe) as your waterbox. I upgraded to a B-pipe and everything is 2", so I also went to 2" outlet so as to not restrict the pipe. If you think you might upgrade your exhaust someday to a 2" ID system, put in a 2" ID rear exhaust.

Measure the inside, not the outside. The outer diameter is dependent on the material it is made of. You need to make sure the inner diameters are the same (or a tiny but larger).

Ya I figured that
