FX-1 Fx1 Pipes

[rkm]

Lets get a thread going on what pipes will fit the hull...
Im curious if anyone has put a B1 mod chamber in one.

Ive got a Coffman Lightning in mine, the mods to the hull were pretty easy and Im very happy with the performance compared to Type 4s. The RN i ride with that has a B pipe doesnt have any better bottom than my mild 61x.

So what others pipes have people fit in with minor mods?
Ive seen Speedwerx in a FX but I think thats it.
Type 4?
What B pipe chambers and how to modify?


!Note: I understand there are several threads on specific pipes, but I think it would be very beneficial for those on a budget to have this consolidated into one. Plus hopefully we get everyone to come out of the woodwork and show what they have done.

Type 4 fits, but the hood liner has to go.

Im curious about your Speedwerx tricky...
Im guessing the hood lip needs cutback, it should clear the hood liner. Gas tank?

both fit and the lip does not have to be cut. The pipe will need a good bend to clear tho.

 

[rkm]

Bend? In the waterjacket at the hood lip area?

Nobody has any input?

Waxhead made a kawi 750 pipe fit, from what i remember. Search the forum and see what it was. I think pjs wrap around. I'm looking for a Factory pipe, Anyone?

What would the best pipe for flatwater bottom end be? The B-pipe i'm guessing?

Dirtyoz is running a riva red on his. send him a pm. He has also done the bonzai bob pump mod, I don't think he had to mod the pipe but not sure,, he would be glad to share info with you.

that speedwerx pipe looks like the kind for a fx1 !!!
that fx1 must have some serious top-end with that speedwerx pipe on it ???
even a re-weld on the waterline fitting too !!!

good stuff - pic's of the highend mod'd stuff.

Nice! I was hoping Id get some interest in this.
Now does anyone know if a B1 mod chamber would work?
Im almost positive it would fit but without one here, no way to tell.

When I was looking for a B-pipe with an FX1 chamber, many peeps told me the mod chamber would work, just may need a little "adjustment" or run a bit of hydroturf between the gas tank and the pipe.

I elected to get the FX1 chamber and it fits very well, of course, and has great bottom end power.

 

[tnj4life]

My question is this, what reasonable priced pipes fit an fx1? Im talking used $200-350 pricerange like protec or coffmans? I have a coffman sizzler in my sn thats been opened up for the 701, I just wonder if one of these will fit? I know, "buy a b pipe" but I can't justify $600+ on a pipe.

 

[GeordieBoyKel]

So has anyone ever seen on of these in a FX1?

 

[vomitspot]

thats the kawie 750 mod pipe

 

[KR]

I want more input on this thread. What fits? What works?

I have a B mod in mine(unmodified), and planning on trying to cram a SJ ltd. chamber in there...

with a bit of gas tank massaging I think the ltd will fit and will make a noticeable difference!
