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?

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.

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.

My comment was short and while I can't see.exactly what you are dealing, I can't really see what you need to do to fix it. My comment was directed at the fact you have an exhaust system that was originally designed to work together. The gist of your comment was that the previous owner Mickey moused it to the point it no longer works together. So demickey mouse it. Don't band aid it, figure out why it isn't working as designed and address that. If it's I capable of working as designed something is jacked and rigging something that is jacked my be an acceptable way to get you home safely, it is usually not an effective long term solution
