Yes, exactly..... In the 3" dry part. I would put it further back towards, but not right at, the primaries because if you out it towards end of collector, water from top of collector can and will fall back into dry part as it runs over and some is sucked back. 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!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.....
