it seemed like the guys doing the trick contest had the loudest front exhaust .did they use water boxes or xmetal front /tdr front . i noticed a few skis that sounded like my old 750 with coffman rocket series pipe. i thought about doing front exhaust but damn some of the skis were so loud sounded like they didnt use a water box.maybe they have front only exhaust?
what water boxes was so loud this weekend?

Steve's ski is pretty loud. Im thinking he is running only front exhaust. I noticed that when he was going into and out of the cove.

I was told that the TRD box with front exhaust would be LOUD maybe louder than the Xmetal but mine is only about 1/2 as loud as the skis that were in the sickest trick. Louder than stock waterbox and front exhaust but not nearly as loud the Xmetal guys

the ugly black square with yellow ducktape has no water box...and rear exhaust only...i think with front exhaust it would be MUCH louder...

X metal boxes are to loud for me. I wouldn't want that in my ear when I ride.

have you tried one? if steve had a new xmetal box that thing sucks. never herd more people complain about how loud the skis were. if you think sj britts video will get you not welcomed back to a freeride or lake try an xmetal water box.

Some people are confused with loud water boxes vs. horsepower.:cool2:
I hate to break it to you guys, the skis in the sick trick contest were not ported 701's.

i agree that those boats are louder than 701 with the same exhaust, but people who are not jetskiers do not appreciate it, i wish i had the coin to piss off my neighbors:haha: :biggthumpup:
