I'm looking to buy the Lightning reduced water's this winter. Anyone have any experience with these?

Why do you want dry exhaust? It is crazy loud. I run wet tails on my 1450 hp engines with no issues. CMI has dry exhaust if you really want it. Not advised for the noise issues though.
Call Ateco for a quote.

Eh, they're not that loud. My CMI's are dry to the tips.

Granted I'm not pushing 1450hp, but with a big cam 598ci, it still makes some noise.

I really don't want dry, but CPP said that I pretty much need it for the cam.

i think that cam will work just fine for a wet tail setup.

I have something similar to reduced water pipes. I have the standard HP500 Gil manifolds with high rise pipes that are mostly dry. There is a dump about 2 feet from the tail that drains a bunch of water out a hose, and then another 1 inch dump at the end that clears what is left in the jackets. I believe there is then a little mixed into the exhaust....but not much. My 500 was LOUD. I just put in some slip-in mufflers to be a little more sociable on board actually.
