That's an R&D pipe is it not?

Looks like it.
It's cheaper because a) it's not made anymore and b) it will crack within 5 minutes of installation.

Also, a B-Pipe is overpriced.

True.
But, as an owner of multiple b-pipes...straight from Factory, I've often wondered why this market has not been tapped by comparable products.

I love the b-pipe....but a sled company ruling the exhaust market for basic mod jet-ski's?
You would think.........

Yes, somebody should hop on this highly lucrative market of 50 pipes/year in high performance standups. :biggrin:

For people who complain they are overpriced. Lol. Tap that market!

LOL,,,point taken.

As I said .. I love the b-pipe. It is pricey, but we've all paid it.
As will more.

Those r&d pipes make great power just need to reinforce the brackets.

or you could just buy a powerfactor

Those don't just bolt into a stock-type set-up. The pipe is pricey, and you've gotta do something about your fuel tank, battery, etc...
Great pipe! but deeper pockets are required!

Since we're talking about overpriced and backordered pipes, I guess the PFP fits right in. :lmao:

There's good stuff out there for any set-up or riding style.
I have no experience with R&D stuff.

For yamaha...none of it is cheap. There are cheap pipes available for older kawi's, but not for sj's.
The good news is that you will actually feel the difference with a pipe.
Biggest improvement in performance of any mod to a previously stock sj. IMO.
