2019 Yamaha FX HO free flow exhaust with test ride

[@SuperJoeyyyyyy]

Thanks for the video! Thinking about buying an FX that already has exhaust on it and this helped me decide.

[@boostedfiveoh]

You're welcome! I just did a rear exit exhaust on it and love it even more now!

[@deetani6773]

Replace stock waterbox will be louder, meaner sound, also be more punchier throttle response. Notice a little more power.

[@boostedfiveoh]

Yeah that would be awesome! It would sound super mean!

[@zackg6444]

Great video as I have the exact same ski and been looking for pictures and videos 👍 that would be my first mod and next year air filter from riva. One Question how long since you did the ribbon delete and any issues

[@boostedfiveoh]

Thank you! Yes I want to do the air filter soon. I rode it a couple times after the ribbon delete and everything was fine. I was able to hit 61mph which I couldnt do before the ribbon delete.

[@argenis2116]

Do you feel it more faster? It add any miles to the top speed? Or is it just sound?

[@boostedfiveoh]

Just added 1mph to top speed

[@dinolittle2659]

Is this the kit you installed RIVA Free Flow Exhaust Kit, 2012+ FX models?

[@boostedfiveoh]

Yes that is the kit I installed. This kit uses the factory exhaust exit. They also have rear exit kit but not sure if I'm ready to drill a hole in my hull for it.

[@dinolittle2659]

boostedfiveoh I have a 2020. Different accent color, same awesome ski thou. Thanks for the reply. I messaged Riva and for some reason they told me the kit does not fit the 19+ so I guess I’ll be installing this soon.

[@ethanmittler3682]

My jetski is on a floating dock. Do you need to have access to the back of the jetski in order to install this free flow exhaust?

[@boostedfiveoh]

Yes you will need access to the back of the ski

[@ethanmittler3682]

@@boostedfiveoh would I just be able to cut the pipe from the inside? Seems like taking it off just creates more work

[@boostedfiveoh]

@@ethanmittler3682 its been a while since I installed it. I know I had to get access to the back of the ski. Riva racing has a viedo on the install that would prob help you out.

[@ethanmittler3682]

How much louder is it than stock would you say? Worth the money?

[@boostedfiveoh]

Its a lot louder than stock but not crazy loud. Its worth the money in my opinion. I just bought a rear exit so I'll prob switch the the rear exit exhaust as soon as I get time to install it. This exhaust will be be for sale

[@ethanmittler3682]

@@boostedfiveoh yeah just bought one today lol. I’m on a floating dock and can’t get access to the back like u can with a trailer so My only option is the free flow.

[@boostedfiveoh]

@@ethanmittler3682 Oh alright I got ya. I think you'll love it. Sounds soo much better than stock.

[@ethanmittler3682]

@@boostedfiveoh yeah I’m excited for it. When do you plan on selling yours?

[@boostedfiveoh]

@@ethanmittler3682 hopefully I'll get the new one on in the next few weeks and I'll sell it as soon as I get it off of there.

[@klo910]

Does the riva pipe go through the hull or do you leave the factory piece in place? Thanks

[@boostedfiveoh]

This one exits through the same place the factory exhaust exits. They do have a rear exit option where you drill a hole in the rear for the exhaust exit.

[@klo910]

@@boostedfiveoh just finished up that project. Was a little bit of a pain but can’t wait to try it out. Did you put that flap of rubber back in where the exhaust exits or leave it out?

[@boostedfiveoh]

@@klo910 Awesome! Yes it was a little bit of a pain reaching down in the inside of the ski. Its worth the end result though. Yes I left the rubber flap in place

[@boostedfiveoh]

@@klo910 also you really hear how good it sounds when you let someone take off on your ski and you hear how it sounds from behind the ski

[@klo910]

@@boostedfiveoh I can’t wait to hear it. Probably ride it Tuesday or Wednesday. I didn’t put the rubber flap back on, hope it don’t leak!

[@policecj22]

Did you have to cut the exhaust hose?

[@ethanmittler3682]

How bad is the drone?

[@boostedfiveoh]

The drone is pretty bad between like 10-30 mph. Im usually idling or going faster than 30mph so the drone doesn't bother me too much. I'm gonna try to do my rear exit kit today.

[@ethanmittler3682]

@@boostedfiveoh yeah dude. U in Florida? I wanna install a rear exit so badly but don’t have a trailer

[@boostedfiveoh]

@@ethanmittler3682 No I wish I was in Florida though lol. I'll let you know how the install goes. I'm from Missouri but I want to go do some riding around Florida.

@@boostedfiveoh yeah lol

[@boostedfiveoh]

@@ethanmittler3682 this rear exit exhaust has been a pain to install so far

[@therealmccoy9031]

Any power increases? Got a vx crusier ho looking to get a little more out of it

[@boostedfiveoh]

Mostly an improvement in sound. Sounds great and I get compliments on how good it sounds almost every time I go out. I would say not a noticeable power increase but may have picked 1mph. All stock I was hitting 58mph. After the free flow exhaust I was able to hit 59mph. I don't know if its just a coincidence or if the free flow was enough to gain 1mph. I also did the ribbon delete and gained another 1-2mph. I'm hitting 60 consistently and 61 in perfect conditions.

[@therealmccoy9031]

@@boostedfiveoh Thanks for the reply, I'm definitely going to pick it up, mine will run in the low 60s pretty consistently now, but would like more sound🤙

[@boostedfiveoh]

@@therealmccoy9031 No problem! Low 60s is pretty good. This will definitely get you the sound. Kinda loud a low speeds but you really don't even hear it much over 30mph when you the rider. I didn't realize how badass it sounded until I let someone ride it and they took off it sounded amazing from behind.

[@therealmccoy9031]

@@boostedfiveoh Hell yeah, I'm good with loud. I've got the Corsa extreme on my 5.0 f150. Thanks for you're help and the vid!

@@therealmccoy9031 Awesome! I love loud too. The corsas sound great on the those 5.0s. No problem man.

Are you planning any more mods?

[@boostedfiveoh]

I would like to add a cold air intake and programmer and see where that gets me. Do you have a fx model?

@@jsmartin1300 I'm not familiar with the deans cut but I know that the ride plate and prop are all common upgrades along with the intake and programmer. Sounds like your on the right track. I should be able to get around 65-66mph if I do these upgrades
