Front Exhaust Only

[DAG]

I'm thinking about installing a front Exhaust and converting my rear Exhaust into a scuppler. Will this be a good/bad idea?

I'm trying to think of all teh pro's and cons on this setup..
has anyone try this?

Highrollers doing that now.... Works welll for him. I am planning on working on a new ski this winter and its only going to have front exhaust.

Pro's i see:
Cheaper, no need for a T, and can sell the long exhaust tube..
and it would make for a quicker install for the scuppler..

Con's:
Maby sucking alot of exhaust fumes???


Also it would be louder, not shure if thats a pro or con???

i have no idea what a scuppler is, but the rear exhaust tube on a sj is high on the bulkhead, so unless your boat is COMPLETELY full, it wont work. I had only front on my boat, used a supertrapp waterbox, wasnt any louder than a rear exhaust boat, and i dont mind the fumes.

thinkinf about doing that myself. :cool2: where would you get the front port/bezel without all the piping??

To loud and too many fumes for my liking

If you're running over 200psi compression and don't wear a helmet, it can get annoyingly loud after awhile.

One tip might be to make the diameter of the outlet (and the hose) greater than 2" to make it have a deeper note. I think the smaller diameter of the front exhaust bezels currently available would create a flute (high tone) effect.

For the life of me, I can't understand why you ever did that to begin with. :smile:

Now---tell me about the "bunk sliders are lethal" statement under your name...:smile:

doesnt matter....TRUST ME man....TOO LOUD!!!!!!!! not to mention constant exhaust in your face...

the next time my gas tank comes out = back to duals



there are no pro's to running front exhaust only, only CONS

even dual is loud

I personally love front only. Mine comes out on the top deck and is a little larger then 2.5 inches diameter. If your not standing, it will throw some fumes in your face. Mine isn't very loud maybe because it is larger? The only downside is the exhaust streak on the side of your hull. My hull is black so I don't mind lol. There is less water in the exhaust at most times to so I found it is a quicker response on the throttle. (Doesn't need to push water out the exhaust when first starting) One other advantage is there is no exhaust tube in the way when installing carbs and removing or installing the gas tank. I don't do any cruising though either. Someone that is just riding around may get annoyed with the exhaust. But for freeride and freestyle I give it an A++. :biggthumpup:

nothing close to front only though, especailly with a TDR box and double expecially with a jetworks valve!!!! :shooter3:

 

[Matt_E]

Wow...TDR box, drying it out, and front only?
Do you get nasty looks a lot?

Dude are you serious? Front exhaust with a TDR box, no wonder you hate it. Get a stock box and you will love it. I have a TDR box with rear exhaust and I like the sound because it's deep and just loud enough. Since it's rear it's plenty bearable when your riding, but I could never imagine having even daul exhaust with it. I'd have to go back to a stock box.

someone shoot me a pic of the TDR box, or can you tell me what box i have?
