sxr dry pipe free ride

[waxhead]

Has anyone used a dry pipe on there freeride ski.
I have some one wanting to do it and im not so sure about the relaibity on them in a freeride situation.

Due to the weight and strain on the head and cylinders I would shy away from it. the pipe has been known to crack at the mounting tabs (lord mount tabs)

Wax from 03-06 I used my dry piped limited in the surf. It was OK and I only switched because I built a surf sxr. The wet pipe makes it so you don't have to cut the hood and keeps the weight down low. If you plan to try rolls and backys you might want the wet pipe. If you plan just to rec ride it you'll be fine with the dry pipe.

My dry pipe worked great until I rode in the surf with it. It cracked within 2 hours. They do make great power though.

Any aluminum sheetmetal pipe will crack eventually, none are designed to last.

The wet pipe makes great power. Plus the power is down low to mid where you need it. The Dry pipe is a race pipe, it does pull strong from bottom to top. But use a pipe for what it was designed for.

mine held up but it was a pain at low speeds, got it hot more than a few times.
