Super Jet Speedwerx pipe vs b pipe

[Matt_E]

I've NEVER had any clogging issues with three B-pipes, a Speedwerx pipe, a Blaster B-pipe, and a Riva red pipe.

It clogs in the waterjackets around the chamber (something a b pipe or any other wetpipe does not have).

 

[Matt_E]

Admittedly, I didn't run it long enough to have that sort of buildup.

 

[Big Kahuna]

Did you have the freestyle version?
I had the race pipe, I think that one was a bit longer.

I had the race pipe. Easy Fit.

They clock where the waterline comes out of the jacket and goes into the stinger. Believe there was a jet down there, that would get clogged some if you rode in rivers or lakes with small debris in the water. Tricky had it happen several times when I have ridden with him.

Ditto what everyone else said.

If you run it, run a strainer for sure. There isn't much clearance from the inner/outer shells so they do clog easily and can be a pain to unclog. A strainer fixes that problem, get one from Mcmaster.

Most of them do need the top mounting bracket holes slotted to get the flanges to mate up properly so the o-rings don't blow. I had to cut the stinger end and reattach it with a piece of hose at an angle to allow that---once I did, no more o-rings blowing, plus I switched to Viton o-rings.

Great pipe, but I opted for the simplicity of a B pipe after several years of running it.

The freestyle version has a very slightly longer rear section to lower the hit a few hundred rpms, they are harder to remove than the race version but just looking at one you won't be able to tell. You'd have to have one of each side by side to notice the difference.

The header on a b-pipe is water jacketed and if you put an inline waterfilter then clogging is not a problem. The SW pipe when set up right will hit hard off the bottom and make much more power when the b-pipe falls off. I will admit that alignment can be an issue. I modified mine to fit in a blaster (it was a SJ version), and after that never had a problem. I think the point is that for the average guy the B-pipe is as easy as it gets and is very reliable but for those who want more and have some mechanical skill then a SW's pipe can work better.

I keep thinking about getting a wild hair up my ass and picking another one up.

 

[MADMAT]

I sold mine to a guy in AUS with a B1 and he won finals with it I guess.

I would love to see one on a big motor instead of these power factor pipes.

I will NEVER run a small gas tank.

 

[Billybo455]

gotta run a powerfactor to clear polaris power vavles...

 

[donteatdirt]

So do the freestyle speedwerx make just as good power as a b-pipe on the low end?

 

[NVJAY775]

I'd like to try one just for grins. But don't think it will clear the hood in a SF. Anybody by chance try one in a SF or have any thoughts on it fiiting in one?

 

[Waternut]

I've never done any measuring but I thought the superfreak hoods had more room than stock hoods because of the liner design. I can try and get you a measurement you can use to see...

 

[NVJAY775]

That would be cool, thanks much.

Dry pipes are the only way to go.... Love my Power Factor Pipe... My new winter build is getting a Type 4...

Correct prop and nothing hits better than a dry pipe!

 

[LegDragger64]

I had one of the first type4s when they came out 12 years ago and then went to a type9. Made great power but in the end they are not worth the hassle .went back to b pipes . Besides the fact they weigh 10 lbs more than a b pipe and need ecwi to work right . Power factor is a step in the right direction . Just made the ski a pain to work on and there are plenty of other ways to make power . 7900 rpms on a stroker crank and it eint gonna last long.
