I have a set of the Graffrig mufflers w/ the air cylinder too that im goin to install on a CMI dry exhaust system

A small hole at the end of the tailpipe will get it done. Doesn't take much, 3/16 or 1/4 iinch hole will let enough water thru to keep mufflers cool and from turning blue, but not flooding with water as to revert.

good job. I'm assuming dyno'd with headers. I'd say it's a crap shoot. You'll be dry to the end of the tails with stops so all you can do is try and see. I've used cams with move overlap and less lsa and never had a problem. With that said I'd at least try it out first but keep and eye on exh ports. Looks like a custom grind. I'm just surprised this day and age the professionals spec'ing out marine builds out aren't taking reversion into consideration.
