    The Air Filter Chamber needs to be larger to reduce the restriction ...but most importantly ...you NEED some form of Velocity stack on the pipe where the air enters the system ...you will lose flow with just a straight pipe entrance.

      @@ShanusPortellusVI yeah hindsight I should have stuck with my original plan which was to make a big square box with a front plate for access. But I wasn’t sure it would even work for reducing noise. Now that I know I just wanna build a new one. I went out today and swapped back and it’s for sure noticeable in low end power. Top speed it’s like a 2mph difference. But when you punch it it’s super noticeable.

    Here me out. Replace the windscreen assembly with one made of cage tube. That way it's 1) strong AF, and 2) rounded corners are less dangerous when you're getting thrown around in the cockpit. Then just weld on flat stock to make the Lexan sheet mounting surface.

    I bought a civic once that had an interfoooler on it (intercooler with a pod filter on the end.). All the piping was the same size as the throttle body. That thing was a DOG. Super slow. Took the piping off and stuck the pod filter on the throttle body and it came back to life.
    You’re gonna need either way bigger piping or get rid of it all together

    I mean are you really jet boating to the fullest if you're not hitting the occasional tree or rock? Those back river runs look like so much fun!

    Check the data see if it’s making less boost. Also, just take the whole airbox off altogether and just run a filter and see if it feels the same.

    Love the boat but no way you'd catch me swimming in that river with gators flopping around. And that rope swing? Just teasing them LOL.

    Build a Y pipe then put a bigger filter inside the tank

    The alligators must have hung that rope swing at night hoping someone takes the bait

    I wonder if that 5 inch pipe is too tight around that filter and is restricting air flow.
    You could try to just run the smaller pipe to the corner and just put the filter on the end open like before. The longer intake pipe should cut down on some of the high pitch resonence on its own reducing the supercharger whine.
    An air box with with fresh air flow and maybe some sound deadening would be the best option, i think, but definitely the most work. But i know how you like big fab projects.😅

    Hey Taylor. What about making that center section of the windshield shorter so it doesn’t interfere with your lightbar?

    You should wrap the jet boat like tge vette
