[fastlife23]

Hey guys what up! Ok long story short my factory pipe waterbox cracked at a weld and my poor blaster has been choking on exhaust fumes! Ok easy fix, right? Wrong there not making that damn box until december which is comepletely horse poo!!!! So I ordered a TDR silencer waterbox power spray model hoping this thing is good. I know there are moe then a few people out there that know about these things so please dump your opinions on me THANX!!!!

why not just have the Factory Pipe waterbox welded?

Send that TDR back and weld the other one up. The TDR's are LOUD... Did you hear me... LOUD... I can't hear you... I lost my hearing in my left ear because of my new exhaust set up....

Really I was told before I bought my TDR that it would be louder than the new Xmetal box but I thought ... Heck why not... Well I know why not now.. I will be selling the TDR as soon as my winter teardown gets underway and going back to a stock box

Curiously, the SX-R TDRs aren't that loud.

Were you running one at LOTO??? I didn't know.. Well I couldn't have heard it anyhow....LOL

 

[Shonuff]

Both SX-Rs have 'em.

SXR's are quiter in nature over a yamaha engine.

 

[cycojon]

are there really any performance gains with useing an A/M waterbox on anything? beside loosing a few LBS? do they typically hold less water in them or are they less restrictive?

sorry for the highjack?!///

 

[Big Kahuna]

not enough to really notice.

lol are they that loud? Well guys i cant weld the box its cracked like in 3 places, specifiacally where the hose connects on the top. That piece cracked all the way around and the cost of welding it would exceed a new tdr box

BK is right....group K tested them and found that the stock waterbox performs very well compared to AM ones...

 

[Freakrider]

from Group K site :Contrary to common belief, the stock Yamaha waterboxes yield excellent overall power levels in all high output applications. Unlike most after market waterboxes, the stock waterboxes can offer quiet sound levels along with strong power even when water is diverted away (water diverters are a part of every Group K engine kit). Even the 701cc Hammer 96 runs best with the stock waterbox. We have tested numerous aftermarket waterbox replacements and found none that significantly increased overall power

Anything can be welded. Stop by a welding shop and ask. I cut my old water box in half and had the baffle modified and then the welding shop charged $20 to weld it back together and weld a "T" pipe on the top so it would be dual exhaust.

 

[fastlife23]

i know this old but with my factory dry pipe on there and the tdr power spray it is not that loud.

An epoxy and fiberglass patch will last longer than having it re-welded.

 

[fastlife23]

i threw away that waterbox it was cracked in 3 different places
