front only with a TDR box or stock, the others are way louder. I lost 12lbs with the front only exhaust and TDR box.

 

[spence]

so ure saying the tdr is the quietest? Notice any performance gains?

 

[vitaly]

The extractor type.

 

[subnsxr]

most say waterboxes just sound faster, I had to rejet my carbs after installing the TDR box, not sure of any gains. just sounds awesome

why would you run without a waterbox, oh, you will lose power if you do. Plus you will piss off anybody within hearing distance.

From Personal experience on my superjet, I took out the waterbox and ran just rear exhaust. Alittle raspy but quiter than people with aftermarket waterboxes and side exhaust. I noticed a HUGE difference, no power loss, quicker throttle response, and the weight lost in the nose was rediculous. BUT the only reason I did that was to assists with backflips, trying to get weight out of the nose was key. So if your not planning on anything like that just leave it stock.

*You do have to watch out for water to make its way back up into your motor though*

I think that only applys to bikes.

Ross has a ski w/o a waterbox, It sounds cool at first but it can be a little annoying. If he rode on a lake I think he would get stopped, but for the ocean its fine. (where we ride there is no one on the beach to hear us anyway)
I recently went to front exhaist on my Blaster, tho I like the bennifits in the surf, it is a bit louder.
I don't think changing waterboxes will yield much HP bennefit.

my waterbox is gutted and i hate it.

very annoying. my lake is not huge so i like to try to keep people happy.

I think if your the type of rider who has to rely on a loud pipe to keep from crashing than you shouldn't be on the water .

BTW the TDR is the loudest box I've heard by far .

then youre jetting wasnt right to start with....

 

[eastbay]

i want to take some pounds off the front of the ski! so i may run no water box an keep the rear exhuast!

was thinking of adding a water line to the exhuast tube towards the back of the hull to cut a lil noise?

 

[jeepmark4x4]

I only used mine for freestyle, like I did 0 riding around...I would literally sit and wait for cruisers.....I don't care what people say on my lake (lake lanier) because there is hundreds of stupid a$$ boats with straight pipes that don't get hassled, ever. Pisses me off

 

[spence]

so how much louder would a rear exhaust and a b pipe rather than stock?

Idok's TDR with front exhaust shattered my spleen with the noise.

 

[subnsxr]

my TDR with front exhaust only is perfect, not very loud. it's the power spray model. SXR
