2000 Sea Doo RX exhaust pipe removal

Hi, can I remove the pipe in one piece on a 2000 RX?

Yes,

I know I can remove it in one piece on a GTX never even tried the RX. I always take them apart, clean them up and reseal them.

I was able to pull it out in one piece! It's still a pain to put back in, and get everything lined up.

Man looking at that thing I never would have thought it would come out. LOL Thank Goodness for the people that know.

I would think it would be easier to line up being in one piece and assembled. The big problem I have installing them in two pieces is getting the correct angle to bolt everything up. I can be quite a challenge and is never easy. Making sure it is fitted on the boss fit is very difficult. Good luck !!

It's still a little challenging getting it to line up at the manifold with it in one piece, but from what I've read, it beats splitting the pipe!

It is awkward pulling the pipe in one piece, but is far easier than trying to align the 2 halves ,,,with silicone,,.with the large clamp.

Yep I should get an award for the rig I had on the RXDI. I had a rope stretched across the shop and into the table vice holding pressure in one direction and that wasn't the only one either. Ha ha I had to remove the clamp twice trying to line everything up. Man I hate those things.
