Super Jet WHAT IS A MARINER PIPE?!?!

[NISMOtuner]

Hey guys, I just picked up what was believed to be a factory b pipe from another member. After it came in, I noticed that it is actually branded "mariner pipe" on the pipe and chamber. I've tried pulling up info on this pipe but all I could find is that is is sometimes referred to as an "a pipe". Can someone fill me in on more details on it or if it is actually still a good pipe for a freestyle ski?

its just a copy

Mariner n few other companies made the exact same copy as the original FPP head pipe.

mariner should only be 2 adjustment screws n the newer FPP are 3 screws.



hope you didnt pay a ton cause the mariner is worth lil less.... I sold a complete butch's FPP for $280

Actually I paid $500 shipped bc they said it was a B pipe. Very disappointing.

Don't be too let down, the Mariner version was made by FPP, branded as and sold by Mariner. Not a "copy". But it was the earlier 2-screw type. Still a great pipe.

I would ask for a bit of a refund, its the older 650 pipe. Bore the headpipe and manifold open to at least 48mm

Ok so was $500 really a rip? I don't believe he was trying to misguide me or anything but the pipe deff needs some real cleanup and not Sure if the screws even turn. He didn't want to turn them

What ski is it for?

What all came with it?

 

[NISMOtuner]

It's for a 701. It came with the manifold "has single cooling inlet", it's missing the bolts that bolt the C section of the pipe to the manifold, unknown if the screws turn in that section (he didn't want to try to turn them). the silicone coupler is missing one clamp. The chamber is pretty beat up and dirty and is mariner also and is missing the silicone coupler that attaches it to the water box.

Edit: I re read this and realized I only criticized the pipe and made it sound bad. The positive is the chamber isn't rusted, cracked or dented severely anywhere. A good painting and it'll be good. The Head pipe is in clean condition and shows no rust on the screws and the pipe appears to be taken care of.

Use a torch and heat the piss out of those screws. They don't come out unless you heat them up real good.

This is the pipe I bought.
Like I said, I don't believe he was trying to deceive me. Most likely is like me and didn't know the difference in a b pipe and this mariner pipe. I would just hate it if I spent enough money to have a b pipe but this isn't worth it.

It's an over payment IMO, but the ad said it was a 2 screw head pipe and mariner chamber

its customride he knew exactly what it was and posted that information. early b pipe two screws, mariner chamber, fpp mani and headpipe rebranded. 500 shipped isnt that bad. it will still hit pretty hard if you get it bored out and get the injection screws to work.

a decent machinist can get one of the same screws and tap a bottom screw if you want it for top end for an hour of shop rate.

also, turning the chamber injection nozzle to shoot down the stinger instead of 90* in will help too. the 90* will jjust clog up flow

 

[NISMOtuner]

Awesome thanks man. I'll get on that and make it happen then.
