X metal

Do they make a waterbox without the dual exhaut T? I'm looking for one for rear only... and all i can find is the T. Where can i get one too! Thanks!

Buy a rubber plumbing cap for $2.50, a hose clamp, and put it on the front outlet end.

Problem solved.

untill it melts.

does anyone do that? I have herd of front only with xmw boxes,, assume they just plug the T somehow...? so same should apply for rear only

 

[Matt_E]

Why would it melt?

People have completely the wrong idea on how hot/cold exhaust really is after the waterbox.
I've ran it that way for ten tanks now, without a problem.

I partially melted mine this past weekend... I was fiddling with my pipe water screws, and when I pulled in to shore, I found smoke coming out of my hood air intakes. It may have been that I simply forgot to tighten the hose clamp enough. Either way, I felt like a huge doofus...

I think I may solder a brass or alum cap on the front part of the T, and drill and tap that plug for a fitting to inject some water...

I won't have to worry about a plastic plug, and ill quiet it down some.

edit: maybe I was idling around to much, and it melted thanks to the jetworks valve and miminal water in the box... buh

well their are plenty of storied that PVC T's melt "all the time" this is why i question.

hell ppls skis have sank b/c of this......remember

A properly adjusted exhaust will have none of those problems.

Assuming this is for the superjet in your signature, you already own the best waterbox(OEM) you can buy(IMO). You can get an X box w/o the T, but it will still be loud and your boat will NOT be any faster and only about 2 pounds lighter. Your wallet will be MUCH lighter, but shouldn't be any louder.:smile:

A rubber plumbing cap works fine to block off the front outlet .
Don't bother and stick with the stocker would be my advice .

and you can run 2 lbs less fuel to have that weight savings.

i have the xmetal box with just the front exhaust with the rubber cap on the other side of the Tee and it has held up fine.
