CAll Lighting and see if they have ever done this. If not, they should. Like I said, some of the other exh companies have learned this and do it standard or optional..depending on the company.
Yeah, my first call Monday morning will be to Lightning. Thanks again!!! |
I had Eddie Marine extend my tails..
They necked the extension pipe down some then added a flare help throw the water against the exhaust hose and to prevent it from running back up the pipe... http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p...pscvxbozph.jpg |

Lightening very good company. My first set came from them in 1992. They've come a long way since then. With price also. I paid just over 1k a set back then. Regardless they will work with you and get your problem solved.
Thanks again for all the help and input guys!! |
If you extend all the way through the transom, you could install some Shotgun muffler tips to prevent wave intrusion.

I think I have all but talked myself into just buying dry exhaust. I have a slight case of OCD so I know unless I go dry, I'll always be worried about it. Plus the thought of putting mufflers on exhaust that is wet makes me cringe, lol. If its to loud dry, then I'll look into a set of mufflers. |
Well, there you go.
You solved your own issue. |
I just pulled my EMIs number 6 had little gasket contact and appears perhaps exhaust leak caused some reversion. Next set of gaskets direct from EMI to better match manifold opening. I tested manifold and no leaks internal. Now I now cause of demise. Lucky no water to oil.

You solved your own issue. Yeah, I think so. I had just gotten home from the initial fire up when I made this thread, I wanted some other input. But after sleeping on it, I knew the only way I was going to feel good about it was to eliminate the chance of water getting in all together. Thanks again for all the replies guys!!! It's great having a place to bounce ideas off of folks with a lot more knowledge than I have!! |
This design is what is used a lot now in circle track racing....I think would be great in wet exhaust too, but with a few design changes.....
