I had these same ones on my Nordic w/BBC I liked them!
The XS company is the same that makes the light racing batt. For race cars r boats

Wow...those are sweet!

not me, can't cover those up. Those are injected, not jacketed. Besides, I'd have to cut a couple of holes in the wall of my shop so the boat would fit with those longass tips on there, lol

If my cam wasn't so big I would like to have a set on my TX just so I can hear the radio better lol

Guess you could do that if you were careful. Wouldn't want to fukk the finish up is all.

No biggie though, not buyin 'em anyway, just thought it was a "Big Deal". :grin:

 

[KONA77]

all you need is a big tubing cutter or just trade for a shorter pair  :grin:

I thought iv read something about too much overlap causes water to be pulled into the exhaust ports with TT's? think.gif

 

[duanehydro]

Only if your engine water dump runs into the exhaust.

Functional "T" vale cures that.

I was under the impression that reversion could happen with injected headers of any either kind. Can get by with it with OT headers if running them dry, no chance of running dry exhaust thru the transom because of the flex hose burning up.

Is how it was explained to me anyway...

Correct, My Voodoo was 112* and if the T vavle leaked by.............Water reversion. But if it was working properly, no issues.

I don't use a T valve. I use a manual valve so I can regulate  the water myself.

That works also if you get the valve closed and the Headers dry before you get down to idle. I have "Tuned" my spring to operate the valve at a higher RPM. (open later, close sooner)

I always use a Banderlog then you don't worry set it at 2200 and forget it then no problems. I ran several thru transom header setups with one and they work great I would put mini valves on the lower and upper feeds so I could balance them. The good part is you not relying on a stupid spring and ball, you get precise positive control.
