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
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
@@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?
@@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
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
@@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.
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.
@@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🤙
@@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.
@@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
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 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.

Thanks for the video! Thinking about buying an FX that already has exhaust on it and this helped me decide.
You're welcome! I just did a rear exit exhaust on it and love it even more now!
Replace stock waterbox will be louder, meaner sound, also be more punchier throttle response. Notice a little more power.
Yeah that would be awesome! It would sound super mean!
Do you feel it more faster? It add any miles to the top speed? Or is it just sound?
Just added 1mph to top speed
Is this the kit you installed RIVA Free Flow Exhaust Kit, 2012+ FX models?
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.

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?
Yes you will need access to the back of the ski
@@boostedfiveoh would I just be able to cut the pipe from the inside? Seems like taking it off just creates more work
@@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.
Did you have to cut the exhaust hose?
Does the riva pipe go through the hull or do you leave the factory piece in place? Thanks
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.
@@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?

@@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
@@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!
How much louder is it than stock would you say? Worth the money?
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 Oh alright I got ya. I think you'll love it. Sounds soo much better than stock.
@@boostedfiveoh yeah I’m excited for it. When do you plan on selling yours?
@@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.
Any power increases? Got a vx crusier ho looking to get a little more out of it

@@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?
I would like to add a cold air intake and programmer and see where that gets me. Do you have a fx model?
@@boostedfiveoh yes I have a 2017 fx go, I did a deans cut on the rideplate, ill do an intake, propnand tune before spring.
@@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
@@boostedfiveoh Deans team racing modifies the stock rideplate.
@@jsmartin1300 awesome! Thanks!
How bad is the drone?
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.
@@boostedfiveoh yeah dude. U in Florida? I wanna install a rear exit so badly but don’t have a trailer
@@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
@@ethanmittler3682 this rear exit exhaust has been a pain to install so far
