Thats definently a place diverter made by Place Diverter

there's a couple of people cutting off the back of a Panther and adding the flange. It'll then accept the jg tail piece so a Place Diverter can be added. I've heard more bad than good on it's performance.

I've heard more bad than good on it's performance. Panther is a AXIAL flow pump. Axial flows do not take well to "PRESSURE AT ALL" Installing a Diverter on one should hurt it-If you look at the original nozzle system I would think it has fairly open tolerances on restrictions and leaks, where as a Pressure Nozzle like diverter has close tolerance.
May be not! Dave

Dave,
You're right and that's the exact reason why it usually doesn't work. When pressure is built to high, performance usually goes down in the Panther.

Probably an ADM job. Changing the thrust chamber/nozzle dimensions on a Panther does affect performance from what I have learned. That is why people complain after hacking off their Panther nozzles and adding berk nozzles to them. Panthers "diverter" is actually placed in the thrust chamber/nozzle, aft of the impeller, thus impeding valuable thrust.

If that's the case, explain to me the increase of speed I got after installing the Panther Diverter?
