I agree, and I agree with the comment. However if someone says something is broken and asks for advice and someone else response is essentially "fix it" that also is a true statement yet not helpful. I was responding to others comments or questions on this thread, I did not continue to keep it alive alone. So sarcastically saying to keep it going with pictures seems uncalled for and less than helpful. Wouldnt you agree?

i don’t think griff meant any ill will...he helps a lot of people here including myself. he is genuine when he says make a couple more posts so you can post a picture. You need 10 posts to do it. Griff I apologize! I do think my issue stems from the fitment between my headers and tails more so than the amount of water flowing through them. Given that I dont have a choice but to run water, the fitment is what I am going to try to focus on. |

okay, that being said and my misunderstanding I apologize sincerely. It seemed sarcastic to me, but I do now understand what he was getting at with the amount of posts it would take to get all the pictures.

Im not sure what you have but often times cmi, SS marine, etc use rubber jumper hoses from header to tail. Not sure if it would work for you but it might be an option. Again not sure of your setup. My headers are supposed to he silent choice, they just dont have the diverter attached anymore. So my water dumps into the tails through 12-15 small holes right at the collector. The tailpipe inside tube slides inside of the header exhaust tube and the water jackets are connected/sealed via a 5" rubber hose that slides overtop both header and tailpipe outer jacket. Without water entering the exhaust right where it does, I fear I would burn up that rubber connection hose. The fitment between header and tail exhaust pipes is my issue, it's very loose and leaves a gap that high temp silicone cannot fill alone and that's where my reversion is getting the water from. |

I think I've got it figured out. Fortunately there are other people out there more helpful than saying my boat will catch fire and posting sarcastic comments without ever offering any real help at all.

Sorry again Griff. I had to have 10 posts to post any pics. my own misunderstanding and jump to a negative conclusion was obviously far uncalled for. Pics of my set up to follow |
