FX-1 Factory Pipe Install

Also a mod chamber would have a weld around the center of the pipe where it is shortened

ding ding ding... You are correct.

I bought this from Blowsion. They say something on their website about modifying SJ chambers to fit the FX-1. I have to wonder if they sold me one of the modified SJ chambers considering how tight it is and the disagreement here on whether its a true FX-1 chamber or not.

So heres the question. Should I use this pipe or call them on it? I just spent $700+ on this so I'm a little dissapointed that its not fitting very well. I haven't ran the ski yet, so I'm not even sure if it will be an issue or not.

It is an FX1 chamber just try and make it fit

Yea, I'll make it work. I guess reinforcing my hull is out the question though.

Ok this discussion got the best of me.

I bought an FPP FX-1 pipe direct from Factory Pipe in December and just went out and looked at it and took pics. I was so worried about it hitting the motor mount area I never really paid attention to the pipe to the hull. I ran a pull strap around it and it may be touching the fiberglass about even with the front of the cylinder. I have had it out 4 times in the last 2 weeks and havn't noticed any problems.

Guess I will pull it soon just to see how much it rubs if any.

 

[tshank123]

Yes.. the exact spot where mine hits. I guess time will tell

Yeah, that's the same spot mine has been hitting for 9 years now.........no prob!

I have 3 FX pipes and it's definitely an FX pipe......don't worry, just run it!
